About Kolam
What happens
A sikku kolam is drawn around a grid of dots (pulli) as one line, without lifting the hand.
The line runs diagonally between the dots and bends wherever there is a gap. Each gap either joins two loops into one or splits one into two, so the count changes by exactly one each time.
When everything joins into one line, a hand draws it in rice flour.
The Chennai bit
Kolams are drawn in rice flour at the doorstep before sunrise, partly so ants and birds have breakfast. In Margazhi (December–January), whole streets, from Mylapore to Anna Nagar, fill with them.
