Kōlam is a daily women’s ritualistic art form created by Tamil Hindu women throughout Tamil Nadu in southeastern India. Each day before dawn, during the Brahma muhurtam (believed to be the time when Brahma and all other deities descend to the earth) and sometimes before dusk, millions of women in the town, villages and the cities of Tamil Nadu (and Pondicherry) draw kōlam on the thresholds and floors of houses, temples and businesses.
The word kōlam in the Tamil language means form and beauty. A symbol of auspiciousness and divinity, kōlam is made with rice flour, finely ground rice powder /paste (called kola-podi in Tamil ) or at times vegetable and mineral based coloured powders on carefully swept grounds (revered as Bhudevi or Mother Earth).
There is definitely a strong mathematical thinking in kōlam as the arrangement of pullis (dots) is based on Fibonacci series, algebraic and numeric principles.

Featured here is the Shore temple in Mahabalipuram. It is a structural temple, built with blocks of granite, dating from the 8th century AD, and has been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Kolams and temples have a very special place in my heart. This artwork is an ode to both.
Hello there!
Greetings!
I am Jamuna, and am a photoshop artist. My artworks are heavily influenced by Indian culture and spirituality. I try to give a modern twist to age-old stories (some dating back several centuries) of India, in Photoshop and bring them to life. These are the stories I often heard when I was a child, and its my sincere effort to bring them to everyone (in a modern way) using the medium of Photoshop art.
I am sure, you will like these works, as much as I do. Thank you for stopping by. Please ...
