Quite nice. The father must be really pleased with his daughter's effort, and of course, her love. One question, what is the connection between murugan and mango, I don't know. Regards! - mOhana

I thought so, but in the versions I heard, the fruit in question was described as tasty, golden, precious, etc. Of course, it can be mango too as mango is the best fruit! Regards! - mOhana

The idea behind this kolam reminds me of a song that my daughter recently sang, a rather sad song that was about Lord Muruga. I thought it was rather a bit odd for her to choose such a song (the song didn't appear to be of her choice), and later found out that she chose that keeping her great-grandpa in her mind (my maternal grandpa who doesn't start his day everyday before his daily prayers to Lord Muruga). Here are the first few verses of the song: P: enna kavi pADinAlum undan manam irangavillai innum ennum shOdanaiyA murugA A: annaiyum ariyavillai tandaiyum ninappadillai un mAmiyum pArppadillai mAmanum kETpadillai C: akSara lakSam yArumillai annal bhOjarAjan illai pakSamuDanE azhaittu parishayikka yArumillai ik-SaaNattil nI ninainda enakkO kuraivillai murugA lakSiyamO unakku ennai nAn viDuvadillai

Gowri, nice Murugan concepts brought into your kolam! Lata, I remember this song in the voice of Madurai Somu which will bring tears even now!
