Sharveen took a few days to make the diffferent coloured rice. He soaked the rice in the coloured dye overnight and dried it the next day.

Ouch! It is quite tiring having to bend and kneel while putting the coloured rice on to the pattern

THE CREATION OF A KOLAM FOR DEEPAVALI

I was busy helping Sharveen to make a Kolam in the library today. This will be part of our decoration for the upcoming Deepavali or Divali Festival which falls on 27 October this year.
