@dsourceindia On Fridays and sacred occasions, the `Hridaya Kamalam` (lotus of the heart) and the `Sri Chakram` (the auspicious circle) are drawn in the kolams to ensure success and wealth. The Hridaya Kamalam kolam is usually drawn at the place of worship to invoke Goddess Lakshmi. It is believed that spirituality unfolds as the lotus blossoms. The centre is drawn first, indicating the necessity of being rooted as an individual. Then the radii with dots are drawn in 8 directions, which indicate the energy being generated from the centre into all directions. One starts at one point with a Kambi or a thread and then, after going through a fixed path, comes back to the starting point- this is akin to life, a journey that begins from a point and goes back to it in the end.
