Beauty & Joy

By Laxmi Sankuri

In this book, Laxmi Sankuri introduces the traditional South Indian art of making beautiful Kōlam patterns to the world. The loveliness of Kōlam patterns draws the attention of the onlookers and Laxmi is here to guide us through the step-by-step process of drawing the patterns and demonstrating that the designs are not as complex as they seem in the final completed pattern. The affirmations used before introducing each pattern are helpful in maintaining physical and emotional positivity. Drawing through the equidistant dots and connecting them to make a meaningful pattern is helpful in channelling our energy in the right direction. Enter into a meditative space by practicing drawing Kōlams.

"The Kōlam/Muggu Designs used by Laxmi Sankuri transport you to a quiet and creative place within! As I did one design starting with the simple dot structure, I was led inwardly to a sacred space inside myself where tracing and re-tracing establish a meditative state. The 21 patterns she offers are simple yet profound which you can easily learn. This book from Laxmi is a NEW "first-of its-kind" Kolam practice book! The Kolam samples contained in this book can bring joy, calm, and peace into your life. Expand and immerse yourself in this sacred art using Laxmi's innovative book and join others on this path of inner-discovery."
