SACHI, Society for Art & Cultural Heritage of India Invites You to Celebrate An Exploration of Kolam Painting with Dr. Vijaya Nagarajan, author and professor of Theology and Religious Studies.
Kolam patterns honor the goddess, who envelops the home with auspiciousness. It is said, in the symbolic use of rice flour as an artistic medium, the kolam is the “feeder of a thousand souls” providing nourishment to birds, worms, ants, and the smallest of insects through the day.  Feeding A Thousand Souls brings into conversation different knowledge traditions – ritual art, beauty, history, gender, literature, religion, anthropology, mathematics, and ecology.
