Rangolis For Dhanur Maasam


        



        So folks get ready for the Dhanur Masam. We have less than a month for the month long Rangoli Festival. 
              
       I am already on the job, creating new  Rangolis. This time I want to create some new ones. Please do drop in your suggestions as to what all new areas/subjects I can explore for this. 

    I will also try to post the usual traditional designs of Nela Muggulu, if I can find some of them. 

      If any one of you can contribute those traditional Nela Muggu - which are drawn using lines, please do, as they are becoming rarer and the present generation does not know much of those designs. 

        So watch out my blog.......

Rangoli-279

Kartika Purnima Special

Today is Kaartika Purnima, the Full Moon in the month of Kartikam. It is very auspicious day. Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu are worshiped. Today is good for spiritual sadhana or meditation.
 This is 21 dots to 1. But 13 dots is 2 times. That is 21, 19, 17, 15, 13, 13, 11, 7, 5, 3, 1. 
A closer look. 

Since Lord Shiva is worshipped today, I chose, Shiva Lingam, Lotuses, Bilva dalams(which are dear to Lord Shiva) and rudraksha. Hope you like it.

Light as many oil lamps as possible today in the evening, in and around your home and if possible in temples too.

Zipper Bag

Here is a small bag. Made from sturdy jean cloth and lots of zippers with adjustable long strap. So Colorful.
Don't be mislead with so many Zippers. There are only 4 compartments. Two on one side and two on the other. All other zippers are for show.
 Looks like this underside and out side. 

Just enough to carry your mobile and some money. So you can use all those zippers lying around or recycle old ones and old jeans like this,
Here is another one. These are a great hit with teenagers and young ones.
