Thank you for visiting and leaving a comment. No, this is not my work of art... this is a picture I took in Pondicherry of a Kolam or Rangoli. Rice powder is used to draw the designs.
You can see more examples here: http://www.indiaoutsidemywindow.com/2007/03/kolam.html http://www.indiaoutsidemywindow.com/2008/01/happy-sankranti.html
Every morning there's a woman who walks through my neighbourhood balancing a bag on her head and yelling 'Rangoli'! She sells the powder used to make these designs.
As always Isabelle~ Love stopping by for my "India Fix" until I one day make it my home as well! Happy New Year and Thank You for sharing a little piece of your beautiful life with all of us!
