A photograph of a colourful chalk-powder kolam on a grey concrete ground showing two figures in blue, pink and purple garments with blue skin, one holding a flute, drawn within white scalloped outlines. A woman in a cream sari with a yellow border kneels at the right, smiling and placing a small white bowl or pot beside the design. Behind, a white-clad figure in a purple-bordered cloth and other devotees in white stand near a square white stepped structure with a dark water basin, possibly a sacred tank. A red-and-white kerb edges the frame.
