KOLAM ART 

Kolam is a traditional Indian art form, especially popular in South India, where intricate patterns are drawn on the ground using rice flour, chalk powder, or colored powders. These designs are usually made by women early in the morning at the entrance of homes, symbolizing prosperity, positivity, and a warm welcome to guests.

The patterns range from simple dots and lines to complex geometric shapes, flowers, and flowing designs. Many kolams follow mathematical symmetry, creating visually stunning motifs that are both artistic and meditative to make. Since rice flour is often used, kolams also serve as a humble act of feeding ants and small creatures, reflecting the deep-rooted Indian value of harmony with nature.

Beyond decoration, kolams hold spiritual and cultural significance, especially during festivals like Pongal and Diwali, when they become even more elaborate. This beautiful, centuries-old tradition is a daily reminder of patience, creativity, and the connection between art and everyday life.
