My Sister forwarded me an email which had an amazing rangoli drawn of Shri Madhwacharya our Guru. It was drawn by my Sister’s colleague Manju’s Mother-in-Law Smt. Padmini of Coimbatore. I thank both of them for allowing me to share this amazing piece with you all.
And below are the images of Dasara Gombe Habba, the arrangements were done by Manju’s Mother-In-Law Smt. Padmini and Father-In-Law Shri Raghavendran of Coimbatore.

Excellent.. It looks as if our Guru is performing pooja at Udipi. Thanks for sharing. And the kollu is also nice.

Yes indeed, Bhamini. I know many of you would appreciate the same, and hence asked for permission and posted them.

The Rangoli is beautiful. The face of Shri Madhvacharya has come out so well. Do you know if it was Rangoli powder of chalk?

Hi Meera,
Happy Navrathri and Madhwa jayanthi. My mom is a friend of Smt Padmini from Coimbatore. Just wanted to know if you got pictures of Smt. Padmini’s this year Navrathri. Heard she has done Brahmotsavam dolls by herself and has put Hayagriva devaru rangoli. My mom was amazed to see everything.
Thanks & Regards
Bharathi
Meera: No I didn’t get any pictures.

The ART OF RANGOLI is a born gift, anybody can draw rangoli, but not like the ONE YOU HAVE UPLOAD, which was drawn by your sister’s colleague. The face of Shriman Madhvacharya (Rangooli) is looks like the one as if he really Shriman Madhvacharya is performing the puja of Udupi Krishna.
My salute to your Sister’s colleague Manju’s Mother-in-Law Smt. Padmini.
Regards
LAKSHMISHA P
