Kolam | Every Lady's Artistic Talent

Kolams are very traditional arts seen in every house's approach of South India and also in parts of Asia.

In expanding cities and places the living area is almost a flat or apartment but in rural villages and big settlements, there would be single houses. A single house is a classic place for daily kolams and kolams are not complex illustrations for Indian dames. 

Lads add this art to their daily morning routine, where this happens after cleaning their ground with a broom mostly made of primary veins of the leaf followed by cleaning it with water once again. And finally, they use their skill to think of a situation that happens around them try to make it an art. In most of the festive times, the kolams would be drawn in the gala eve night. 

For Example: If it is a festival of Pongal, they try to draw a Pongal pot, sugarcane, sun and give them their own designs. If it is Diwali, their approach would be of  Crackers and lamps. People would also add delight to festivals with their kolams.

Kolams are to be the artist's very own creativeness.
