You who want knowledge,
seek the Oneness within:
there you will find the
clear mirror already waiting.

Hadewijch, 15th century

This traditional Indian decorative art form known as Rangoli or Kolam is typically created on the floor or ground at the entrance of homes, especially during Hindu festivals and celebrations such as Pongal today, 14 January. This specific design shown uses coloured powders and features a central flower motif with intricate patterns around it. Rangoli or Kolam are traditionally made from materials such as coloured rice, dry flour, colored sand or flower petals, even though some painted versions are beginning to emerge. Over the semi-open grille gate leading into the home is a circular concave mirror - and also a conventional mirror on the back wall - wherein the photographer was unwittingly reflected! Post Office Road, Ramana Nagar, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, India.

Today (the 14th) is the harvest festival called Pongal in my home state, Tamil Nadu, India.
Villages and small towns have colorful traditional art, "Kolam," in front of their houses. My hubby took these from one of his visits to his ancestral village.

"Kolam" outside a village house during "Pongal" (harvest festival) in Southern India. In the old days, these were drawn with coarse rice flour to feed the birds, ants, and insects every morning. Here today, gone tomorrow.

There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light
and wants to show
To be a rock and not to roll
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven

A woman, barefoot and in a red patterned sari, bends from the waist as she draws the outline for a chalk-powder (or rice flour) traditional decorative design known as a kolam or rangoli on a wet surface of a motorcycle ramp leading up to her home. These are a significant part of everyday life in many Hindu households and are typically drawn to welcome guests and the goddess of wealth and prosperity, Lakshmi.

You like kolam? Some of my colleagues (not on bsky?) published an analysis of kolam design variation and I think it is super cool. They wrote an R package to code the designs as sequences of gestures. All data/code open. doi.org/10.3389/fpsy...
Figure 2. Explanation of the geometric spaces in kolam art. Taken and adapted with permission from Waring (2012b). Panel (A) shows the orthogonal geometric space with an example kolam drawing and Panel (B) shows the diagonal space with an example kolam drawing. In Panel (A), the dashed arrows illustrate the possible orthogonal starting and ending positions of gestures (blue dots) and loops as well as the orthogonal orientations of gestures: 45°, 135°, 225°, 315° angles. In (B), the dashed arrows illustrate the possible diagonal starting and ending positions of gestures (green circles) and loops as well as the diagonal orientations of gestures: 0°, 90°, 180°, 270° angles. Sequence: The sequence of gestures that the specific kolam designs can be decomposed into (see lexicon in Figure 1).
