Happy Onam to All!

It is the first Onam in our flat and we thought, why not go full traditional? The floral carpet took a couple of hours of dedicated effort in the wee hours of morning. So, was it worth the effort? Check it out:

Well, there is a bit of geometry involved in a pookalam unless you are willing to spend a lot of time improvising. Like a good piece of engineering, a good design was essential. Here are some of the mockups made using Inkscape:

The Sadhya this time was at Prestige Hotel. Was pretty good with 3 different kinds of Payasam. Now time to munch some banana chips ;)

    In tough times like these it is our culture and festivals that keep us together and going. I know Onam is gone now but we have so many festivals that keep us together and happy and make us bounce back from horrible events like the ones in Mumbai.
