Kolu on energy within humans
T. Madhavan
There are some people who don’t mind going the extra mile to display their creativity when it is Navaratri time.
At
Bnarayanan’s house in Pallava Gardens, Old Pallavaram, the
family has worked together to represent in their artistic display the
positive energy within human beings. The womenfolk of the household
ideate a theme every year and they have been setting up kolu for the
past 15 years.
He
and his wife have come out with themes like conservation
of energy and a slice of village life. This year’s theme is called
‘Cosmica ManotSaha.’
Together
they have highlighted how a human being can learn from the nature sakthi. They
have also displayed several crystals which reflect the lights falling
on them. ‘Salagramams’ of different sizes symbolising the life of the
stone and the man also find a place in the kolu. The sacred stone is
worshipped by the devotees of Vishnu. It represents six values of life,
righteous living, wealth, protection, good health, Bliss and
spiritual blessing.
Bnarayanan has also depicted Shakthi as the cosmic energy and shown Pantheon of Gods as having stemmed from her.
The
celestial deity with sharp features has been beautifully ornamented and
decked up. He and his wife spend time making dolls and painting on the
plate.
Another
section of the kolu depicts ‘Life Solving Ancient Technologies,’ which
helps understand how to fulfil ones desires. “We live to fulfil our
desires and be happy. But it does not always happen. We need a divine
guiding force for the same, for which we need positive energy within us.
We need to keep our body and soul clean and live with nature to enjoy a
stress-free life,” says
