All about KolamYoga
Kolam Art Book Launch
This book takes you on a Pictorial narrative journey of 25 different types of Kolam structures. You get to see each Kolam type in its abstract pure form and then embedded in a narrative painted realm. These Contemporary, Kolam inspired paintings are supported by abstract poem-like sentences to give the reader a deeper understanding of their narrative and their healing qualities. You can trace with index each and every Kolam type, draw, copy and find deeper inspiration in how to connect to the Earth realm we live in.

About Grace Gitadelila
Grace was raised in Pondicherry and lives for many years now in Auroville. Her mother used to run an embroidery studio where work was given to the local women to support their livelihood.
Grace grew up surrounded by the culture of the local Tamilians, and naturally started to draw Kolams from childhood.
At one point, she began to seek more knowledge about the kolams, and realized that there were no publications dedicated to the topic. She has decided to take it up on herself, and is currently working to write a book on the theory/principles of Kolams.
She also teaches Kolam, dance, and yoga with her own approach to these practices.
