Sikku Kolam represents the complexity and fragility of life, with lines sometimes straight and sometimes wavy, intersecting, taking u turns and re-meeting the other lines again and again,just like our lives on earth cross each other many times at unknown

The ending of the Sikku kolam pattern is just as unpredictable as life itself, where even the designer herself is not consciously aware of the precise end point of the pattern. The pattern ends as the lines close on each other. Kolam is as fragile as our lives with even the most beautiful pattern being erased only to be redrawn each morning. It is a wonderful experience to watch a kolam being drawn, sometimes large enough for three or four women to work on one pattern and it is mesmerizing once completed.
