It's fabulous, Pinto! Thank you for all the info on this festival.

The only thing I still want to know is approximately what the diameter is of this design?


Ginnie: Since this was was put inside our home, its a small one, around a meter in diameter. Normally in Kerala, it will be put outside your home and will be quite big in some cases.

Happy Onam, Pinto. This carpet of flowers is precious. This tradition to decorate the streets with mantles of flowers also is made here in some towns of Spain for celebrations like the Corpus Christi

Happy Onam to you too! My husband is from Kerala and we 'should' be remembering these festivals but unfortunately life in US is way too fast - so thanks for reminding me of Onam

I hope you had a very happy Onam, Pinto. It sounds like such a nice festival. And the Pookalam you created is pure artwork! How long does it last after you create it?
