The above ‘kolam’ was made from fennel cloth instead of rice beads in Gurney Plaza. That’s because from previous experience, beautiful rice beads kolam tend to be destroyed by some itchy hands and feet by displacing them and mixing the colors.
Here is the real ‘kolam’ made from colored rice beads. Notice the barricade around it in the lobby of Cititel Hotel which I stayed for the weekend. Even with the barricade, already there are 2 finger prints or 2 holes on the bottom red petal of the design.
Anyway, here is to wish all my Indian readers, a Happy Deepavali!
That’s why I am going to Bangkok from tomorrow onwards for the long weekend of holidays where my sister can take longer leave.
