On the first day of the margazhi season, bhajan-singing groups began the rounds of Mada Streets around Sri Kapali Temple in Mylapore. There are three or four groups that start their practice at about 6 a.m. and among them is a group of members guided by guru Rukmini Ramani, daughter of the multi-faceted late Papanasam Sivan who was also a prominent leader of bhajan groups in this area in his lifetime. If you wish to join this spiritual event, the groups are open to it.

Desilting of the bed of Chitrakulam has been going on this past week. The recent rains had encouraged wild DESILTING THE vegetation to grow all over here. This effort is made in the hope that water will retain if and when it rains. CHITRAKULAM But experts like Shekar Raghavan of the Rain Centre say that unless rain-water harvesting is followed by all the households in the areas around this temple tank and this help raise the groundwater level around, water will not be retained in the tank. This is because hundreds of bore-wells which are sunk in this area by households suck up whatever rainwater that adds to the groundwater and hence, water which falls into or enters the tank will not be retained for long and thus remain dry. Also, Chennai Corporation must take steps to direct water falling on the four streets around this tank to be filtered and directed into the tank, as it happens in the tank of Sri Kapali Temple. Some residents say that the local MLA must oversee such a project. The tank is under the management of Sri Adi Kesava Perumal Temple. Many desilting operations have been held here in the past but they only help to clean the tank bed and hence, been wasted efforts. 4 MYLAPORE TIMES Dec 21 - 27, 2019

1 Margazhi’s Kolams 2

By Dheepthi O. J. 3

With the arrival of Thamizh month of margazhi, women have started drawing beautiful kolams in the front yards of their houses in Mylapore. And if you want to feast on the creativity, then you must walk into the inner streets of this neighbourhood and do so before the sun is up. From tweaking design patterns of a sari to replicating visuals seen in day-to-day life, the creativity and dedication of these women in drawing a kolam are best experienced in these streets. Waking up at 4 a.m., Rama Srinivasan (photo 1) of Bazaar Lane drew a big freehand kolam outside her house one recent morning when we did the rounds. She soon went on to draw kolams outside Sri Mad- hava Perumal Temple and Sri Veerabhadrar Swami Temple in that zone before heading for the Hindi tuitions that she has been taking for several years now. Being a fan of rangoli and pulli kolam, the 72-year-old says she will not be at peace if she has not drawn kolams, especially on a margazhi day. She says, “During special festivals and utsavams of every month, I draw around 9 pulli kolams to fill the entire street in front of Sri Madhava Perumal Temple. In the old days since I had to start drawing kolams as early as 3 a.m, to ensure my safety and to encourage me my husband used to be with me till I finished the kolams.” She picks up designs for kolam from the patterns/visuals she sees in everyday life. “While walking on the road, I notice the patterns of 4 windows of houses or drawings made on walls and replicate them.” S. Babyeswari (photo 3) of Malleeswarar Koil Street says she makes sure not to repeat a kolam in the entire margazhi season. She has been designing rangolis outside her house for over 18 years. She says, “I look at designs in saris and bedsheets. And at night I keep working on them in my notebook till I arrive at a new design for my kolam the next morning.” Considering kolams as a form of physical exercise, P. Revathy (photo 4) of Justice Ramakrishna Street off Sri Karaneeswarar Koil Street says she learnt to draw kolams by watching those drawn by her neighbours at Vadugu Idaya Street where she used to reside earlier. “I learnt kolams by watching our neighbours who used to draw kolams with intricate patterns.” She recalls that there used to be a healthy com- petition in drawing kolams many years ago. “In a way, that motivated everyone to draw kolams every day,” she tells us. This home-maker says that kolam helps her to stay focused. “It’s like a meditative practice for me. The half an hour to two hours that I spend on drawing kolams helps me to stay focused the entire day and improves my concentration.” Usha Rani (photo 5) of Karaneeswarar Koil Street Second Lane 5 says she loves to dive deep into the chikku (pulli) kolams. “I draw kolams ranging from 13 pulli to 20 pulli.” Usha says her goal is to inspire the younger generation to learn and draw kolams. “Even if a single person gets inspired after seeing my kolam and starts drawing it, I will be very happy,” Usha says. Vijaya Sekar’s colourful rangoli (photo 2) stands out at her doort- step on Nadu Street. She carefully mixed different colour powders to make unique shades of a particular colour. Taking inspiration from YouTube videos, she uses colours to highlight her kolam. “Ahead of the margazhi season, I buy kolam powder for Rs. 100 and colour powders (100 gms cost Rs 20) and mix them in various proportions,” she says. Her husband says Vijaya continues to draw kolam despite enduring severe knee pain. Vijaya says, “For several years, I have had very bad knee pain but my love for rangolis and little words of appreciation from friends and family keeps me going.”
