FAQs

What is a pookalam?
A pookalam is a flower carpet made with petals on the floor during Onam, the harvest festival of Kerala. It is usually round and built from symmetrical rings.
How do I draw a pookalam design?
Start with a center point, draw evenly spaced circles around it, then divide the rings into matching petal sections. Color each ring with one flower color.
Which colors are used in a pookalam?
Orange and yellow marigolds, white chrysanthemums, red roses and green leaves are the most common. Placing a light ring between two dark rings makes the pattern stand out.
How do I make an easy pookalam drawing?
Use three rings and a simple flower in the middle. Keep every petal the same size in each ring so the symmetry holds.
Can I use the drawing to plan a real pookalam?
Yes. Ask for a clean outline plan, download it in HD and use it as a guide to mark the rings on the floor before placing petals.
Can I animate a pookalam drawing?
Yes. Send the drawing to Image to Video and describe a gentle motion, such as the camera rising above the pookalam or the lamp flame flickering.
