Hridaya Kamalam

Hridaya kamalam is a lotus obtained by fitting 16 petals. This kolam is drawn with a single line that goes through all the dots to form a representation of lotus flower and Hindu people believe that drawing this kolam in one go without removing the hand out is religiously beneficial.
