Today December 16 th, is the starting of month called "Margazhi" for Tamil peoples. This month is considered to be Holy.It is considered very auspicious to go to temple everyday early in the morning during this month. Margazhi is known for lovely kolams. We wake up by 4.00 in the morning. Sweep the front side of the house and clean it with water and cow dung and will start putting kolam. This custom has been followed by our people over ages and it is still followed in rural areas. You can find kolam in front of every house in south India
You might wonder why we should wake up so early that too on this cold winter morning. Any guesses..? I know the reason but I want to know what you guys think.

The cold weather have limited number of day hours. So to tackle the lethargy and lazziness some reasons were created for early rising.Religion and spirituality being the easiest routes to motivation to keep man active, they created these customs in the name of God. Now it has been proven scientifically that the ozone layer is closest to the Earth during this time and hence breathing in the fresh early morning air during this month is very beneficial to our health.

Thanks Elisa, Putting kolam has different uses. It enhaces creativity, problem solving ability, and while you put kolam infront of the house on the ground, the way you bend your body is a kind of Yogasana which relieves back pain.

How interesting. I really love kolam. Here there is a maths professor who started to use kolam in classroom as drawings to make children calm and focused.
