Aal ilai mele azhagaana mandalakolam. It is as neat as your drawing with soft colors. I too was supposed to attend Bhagavathiseva pooja last week , but missed it since fell sick. pl. upload the pooja photo with Kuthu vilakku and colourful flowers. :)
Thanks a lot Lakshmi for selecting this as the ROD. :) Thank you all my dear friends for your wonderful words about this kalam. :) I will surely share this with those who made this :) Will upload the photos of making this and the decoration.
if i am not mistaken-these bhagavathy sevai kolams are called "padmam"
and i have also heard that there is a special padmam for each family-dont remember too much-can anybody further this or correct me if i am wrong-also the same for a ganapathy homam-i remember the vadyar saying"padmam podanam..and also manja podi and kumkumam is used-these are more on tantrip/mandala type-the ganapathy homam padmams-but the bhagavathy homams i think are some specific animals or birds--
