10th Anniversary Task Kolam Announcement
To start our celebration, let's draw Chariot on Monday from our Kolam Notebook to bring in the positive vibes for a month-long celebration.

Date: 𝟰 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲
_______________________________

𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝘀𝗸
Theme : 𝗘𝗺𝗼𝗠𝘂𝗱𝗶

Akin to previous years, let's start the task with our Brahmamudi kolam.

Do kolams have emotions? Yes, indeed they do!

A gentle, flowing loop can show peace and happiness.
Sharp turns and tight knots can show anger or tension.
Expanding patterns can show joy and celebration, while delicate, inward movements can show introspection or sadness.

Draw a Brahmamudi in any dot grid style and post it. Let everyone guess the emotions, and later you can reveal your original emotion from your perspective.

Chitra Gupta Pooja Kolam
Chitra Pournami is a time to pause, reflect, and realign.

Drawing the Chitra Gupta Pooja Kolam is not just a ritual, it’s a mindful expression of accountability, gratitude, and new beginnings. Each line symbolizes the path of our actions, reminding us to walk with awareness and intention.
May this kolam invite clarity, balance, and divine blessings into every home.
