Monday Kolam

Happy Monday All - This week I am going to attempt to do the appropriate kolam (see previous post for description) for each day based on numerology and planetary symbolism. Everyone I have spoken with has a different interpretation of this so I am going with what my dance teacher showed me in Chennai many years ago. She explained that this kolam is drawn on Mondays to honor Soma (the Moon). The Moon adorns Siva's hair and is said to bring feminine grace and beauty as well as mental clarity. As an aside; doing this kolam does indeed require grace and mental clarity. Give it a try...
