The "Kolam" is originally a form of sand painting, using colored rice often decorated the entrance of Hindu homes. It is believed that the "Kolam" serves as a welcoming gesture and said to bestow prosperity to those homes. This auspicious Art of home decoration is to evoke the blessings of the deity Lakshmi (Goddess of prosperity) by lighting oil lamps around the compound and displaying skillfully designed Kolams.
The particular Kolam in the picture was done by me together with other
teem members selected by the Limkokwing University Of Creative
Technology, Malaysia. At two different places:
Pavilion KulaLumpur and
Sepang-Cyberjaya, Malaysia.
