Today my day has started with surprises:)
Astalakshmigalin kolam Asaravaikkum Kolam.
What a perfect execition in creating the photocopies of the national flag and border (dolls). Neat handwriting, the hindi version looks like a printed one. I'm mesmerised by the main kolam.
Guessing game, the whole world knows about my guessing talent :0

wonderful rathnakambalam ! jaihind suguna murugesan
Wow...lakshmi...what a beautiful creation this is...so bad u didn't give me d slightest hint that u were about to do such a kolam...hmmm vinci i think u got a clue...judy, sumathy mam, bharathy mam, pinky, viji mam, saras and u ...am i right....
Gre8888888888888..... Amazing. Excellent n apt rangoli for the republic day with lovely flag borders. A great salute for u and your team..........
Fabulous work! Beautifully made in bold blue and patriotic colors, and yes, as Vinci mentioned, lettering is nice too.
My guess: I would go with most names from Vinci's guess, and would include Pavan and Deepu as well. ?? :0
Vinci, your guess is 90% correct! When the Vada Palani trio(Lakshmi, Bharthi and Pinki) were doing this we(myself and Rajamma) visited them on our way to a relatives house!Judy and Saras joined us later.
Rani,it just happened. we will plan it next time in your place.
Jaya and Rajam
Beautiful Rathnakambalam.Great creation.Hats off.
patriotically beautifully done carpet rangoli. kudos to the persons.
This blue coloured Rathna Kambalam is done so beautifully. The flags in the border are all of the same shape and size. I liked the kunjalams also very much.
Mahalakshmi
Oh so bad...rajamma mam was here in chennai...and jaya mam u did'nt tell us at all....i will never forgive u....hahaha
Oh what a wonderful experience this was for me as I have always wanted to be part of Lakshmi's concept rangolis but never had time earlier. Yesterday afternoon I was in the koyambedu flower market buying flowers for my son's office event when Laks called me to say that she was making a concept rangoli and had surprise guests (Rajam and Jaya had gone close by to some relative's house and had stepped into her house on their way back). She wanted to know if I could join them at such short notice and I readily agreed. By the time I reached Laks's house (after my son left for work) they had already made the main central kolam and were filling the outside blue part of the carpet. My hands set to work immediately and I drew the bottom row of flags, while the top row was drawn by Rajam, I then helped Laks with both the tassel borders after which I filled the letters both in Hindi (written on paper by Bharathi) and English after Jaya wrote them with a matchstick. While we were at work, Rajam made us sing two lines of any patriotic songs that we could remember while she rendered a lovely very old tamil song.
Rani in fact Laks was saying - if Rani knows we are all together she will get upset I did not tell her. But it was too short a notice for her to inform you as your house was too far away from her place.
Thanks first of all to Rajam and Jaya for making that surprise visit to Lakshmi's house due to which I also got this chance to be part of such a wonderful rangoli - and thanks Lakshmi, Pavan and Raghu as usual for your hospitality.
Extremely beautiful and perfect presentation from a panel of experts in kolam ....I am just staring at this blue beauty and searching words to elaborate its beauty.....
thanks for a very fantastic and fabulous treat.
Looks Awesome Lakshmi !!! Tri color flag shining brightly on the blue carpet :)

Subashini, Rani and others, sorry, it so happened we both (Jaya and myself) were travellling to/ near Lakshmi's place visiting our relatives and since Laks said their program of making republic day concept kolam in their place we told them we will join if time permits. We reached there when it was half way thru and later Judy ans Saras joined. It so happened. No intention to leave anybody. Next time we will plan to join everybody Ok vaa?

When eight pairs of artistic hands join together, no doubt, a masterpiece is in the offing. Hope the leaders of the republic are as thoughtful, imaginative and hard-working as these great souls! We are certainly blessed to have a glimpse of this.
