Nice decoration in a Thaambalam. What is the meaning of Muttalai? If you draw a thin line of the design with fevikol and then stick the Sago then it will look more neat.

i dont know the meaning of muthalm but a temple near my house in thiruvanmiur.they use to celebrate navratri during those time i used to give big tambalm madeof different kolams like this and they will light campher or lamp in the middle and do the aarthi of devis all those 9days.My mother used to call this kolam muthala thattu..And for all navrathris we make this kolam. now adays we get different colours but those days we used to colour it with coffe powder haldhi,kumkumand some other edible colour sometimes i make it of differents grains..
Very nicely done. U can soak sabudhana in water for some time and then take it out and put it in haldi, kumkum etc so u will get different colored sabudhana and then we can stick it to the tambalam and can do aarthi. That will look nice too. I made one for last navarathri but i don't have the pic now.

good sujestion. i will try next time.
muthal thattu means finishing tuch for alll the celbration and final aarthi is taken with this(this arthi will be made of coloured rice and in the middle lame will be there and with that the final aarthi is taken during marriages and othe functions). and then nothing will be celebrated..i asked one of my elders they gave me this explanation.
Muthyallu means muthu in Telugu. There is a seperate telugu song for muthyalla aarthi which is done even in varalakshmi vratham. They say if u do muthyalla aarthi for Amman in navarathri she will be pleased..
