The Miracle of the Lotus Flower

Kasturi Bhai Venkatramanan Pillai on Instagram: "Day 4 of Margazhi & since it’s a Friday…the heart demanded a Hridaya Kamalam 🪷 Hridaya Kamalam literally means “lotus of the heart”...a sacred kolam meant only for prayer spaces : temples, poojai rooms, or near the Tulasi maadam. Strictly NOT A THRESHOLD KOLAM...this one prefers peace, not foot traffic 😄 Traditionally, this design is drawn by connecting the 1-3-5-2-4 dots & is known as Shodashadala Padmam, a 16-petalled lotus associated with God

Malavika Avinash on Instagram: "It’s a beautiful chiffon, hand embroidered…from #Bluelotus! It drapes like butter & looks a million bucks! Try and find similar fragrances from different brands & mix them. They will last a whole day! I promise…but beware…the ones that clash will end up making you smell like a wreck! So you get there with practice. #malavikaavinash #Sareelove #actorlife"
