    Dear Padma..

    Kolam

    A Kolam is a sort of painted prayer -- a line drawing composed of curved loops, drawn around a grid pattern of dots. They are generally symmetric.

    Rangoli..

    A colourful design called a Rangoli is made near the entrance to a house to welcome guests. Traditionally they are painted or created out of coloured sand/rice powder. A symmetrical design or picture (Gods, Goddess, Dancers, Diwas etc.) is drawn and coloured rice powder/sand is then layered on top to form a picture.

    You can pray and draw the above kolam, which will protect against bad spirits. Depending on the space available, you can size the kolam accordingly :)

    Sorry Brinda for the late reply.
    After reading your mail i also imagined like that and had a funny laugh.
    Navagraha kolams are drawn in a daily basis. From Sunday to Saturday.Each kolam contains the preethy of the graha on that day. Say Sunday is for Surya and Monday for Chandren and Tuesday for Ankarakhan Wednesday for Bhudan Thursday for Guru Friday for Sukuran and saturday for sani and Tuesday for Raghu also and Saturday for Kedhu also.Like wise kolams to be drawn on the sutuplated manner.
    I am attaching the kolams as for the order.This should be put in front of the samy and not outside. Its better to draw in arasibodi(ricemavoo).
    1.Sunday
    2.Monday
    3.Tuesday
    4.Wednesday.
