It is very easy if you draw the base lines first. It is a matter of joining only. It did not take much time for me to draw this. Actually I drew it in a hurry bcos my mother was calling me in for the household work as we had lots of relatives for diwali.
today i saw the same kolam by one friend at http://www.ikolam.com/node/12299 hence I remembered my kolam and read all your comments. Thank you one and all
it's beautiful. Did you use chalk or some other paste? It's not powder, right? Also wanted to know how to draw the outline using the red paste..
Thanks
