It is spread throughout Bharat and is referred by different names like kolam, mandana, muggu, arpan, alpan, puvidal, sanjhi, sathiya, chowk purna, rangavali etc.

As per the availability of resources in the regions; different materials are included in the designs like rice flour, rice paste, clay paste, flowers, petals, leaves, pulses, sand, pebbles, seeds etc.

Kolam is considered to usher in prosperity and peace to a temple and home and so is drawn daily in the morning..

It is also a form of devotion where you offer a grand design to please the deities and get their blessings.



Sanskar Bharti was founded to preserve and popularize the various art forms of Bharat.
