Kolam

Yesterday i went and joined a competition with my coursemates. The competition was a Kolam(pronounce as Kho lem). From wikipedia-Kolam (Tamil: கோலம் kõlaṁ) is a form of sandpainting that is drawn using rice powder by female members of the family in front of their home. It is widely practised by Hindus in South India. A Kolam is a sort of painted prayer — a line drawing composed of curved loops, drawn around a grid pattern of dots.

It was my 1st time joining this activity, and surprisingly i really enjoyed myself. Though there's times where I was a bit clumsy and accidentally mixed the colour of the rice, but luckily it didn't make our team lose concetration. And surprisingly our team won the 2nd prize... yeah... hehehe... let's see some picts...the winning 'kolam'
