Simple Rangoli Kolam Designs Video

One thing that cannot fail to impress us at a Tam-Brahm wedding is their Kolam designs. Here are some Kolam designs for inspiration & all you need to know!

Kolam is a type of rangoli that holds special significance in South India. South Indian women get up very early in the morning, every day, to make simple Kolam designs on the threshold of their homes. They believe that this is where the internal and external elements of their world meet. These designs are typically made of rice powder but turmeric powder is used sometimes to add some colours in them. In recent times, using chalk powder along with other brightly coloured powders has become the norm to stop wastage.

A Tamil wedding is very different from a North Indian wedding, and this is especially true for a Tamil Brahmin wedding. Kolangal designs are an integral part of the decorations. Apart from their cultural value, it also adds character to the venue. During the wedding festivities, all the Kolam experts in the family come together and make very elaborate and intricate Kolam designs.

Kolam designs are slightly different from rangoli designs as they are generally more geometric than rangoli. There is no limit to your creativity while making new rangoli Kolangal designs, but they do require a lot of finesse. You can also make an easy kolam design if you like simple and spacious designs.

Below, we have listed some easy Kolam designs and elaborate and unique Kolam designs for your Tamil wedding decoration.
