Brightening up the doorsteps…

 

 Where does "kolam" or "rangoli" fit in? Art? Tradition? Culture? Hospitality?

 

…All of the above it seems to me!

 

Here’s a lovely rangoli in front of my friend Alamelu Ramaswamy’s home:

It’s such lovely patterns that invited the passerby to enter, and feel at home…

Rangoli is one of the traditions that I love.
