A woman in a cream sari with a yellow blouse kneels on a grey floor at the base of stone steps, sprinkling white powder from a small metal bowl to draw a colourful kolam. The finished rangoli shows two blue-skinned, crowned deity figures in flowing pink, purple and orange garments embracing, set within a white scalloped border. Behind her, a pair of drums stands near a white-walled structure with red and white striped steps, and several people in white clothes and a man in a maroon dhoti stand or sit in the background among green plants.2010-01-02 +1 copiesDecember 31 20062006-12-31May 02 20122012-05-02A woman in a yellow and white floral salwar kameez crouches on a concrete ground, drawing a large white kolam rangoli with rice flour.
