WoW!! I'm amazed to see a huge carpet weaved by chikku strands. More than 2000 dots OMG, Wondering how much time, members and work involved to create this kolam. May I expect the creator to elaborate the description with some more words :)

Wow. It looks as if you have not drawn but intricately woven it. Very patiently drawn kolam. How did you put it - in one stroke or took time in between?. How much time did it take for you to put? I think putting the dots itself would have taken hell of a time. All the best.

Hope your back is ok after you have put such a huge kolam. I am not able to comment with full justice as I am unable to see the kolam clearly - would have loved to see a closer image - all the best (your handwriting is very very neat)
