    Sathabhishekam — Kamala and Raghavan

    Mon 26 Oct

    Kolam

    Dot-grid geometry from Tamil and Telugu doorsteps, drawn at dawn.

    About this design

    White dot-grid geometry on a warm ground, the way a Tamil or Telugu doorstep is drawn at dawn. Named kolam and not rangoli on purpose: alpana in Bengal and aripan in Bihar are cousins with their own names, and this family draws only the South Indian one.

Marked by Hindu families. Usually a temple, a hired hall and at home, for family and the wider community. At eighty, when a thousand moons have been seen. Free invitation designs with RSVP and calendar, and no account for your guests.

Each one is a different visual tradition rather than a recolour of the same card. Tap a colour underneath to change the palette; every design carries your own wording, date and place.

Questions people ask

Do my guests need an account?
No, and they never will. A guest opens the link, types their name and taps Going, Maybe or Can't go. No password, no phone number, no app. If a page ever asks your guests for a password, it is not us.
Can I text my guests?
Only the ones who asked to be texted. A guest gives a number on their own — on our page, never yours — and confirms it with a six-digit code before we will send anything. You never see the number. Texts are limited to three per event so an invitation cannot become a mailing list, and cancelling or moving an event is never counted against that.
Does it work in WhatsApp?
That is what it is built for. Pasting the link shows a picture of the invitation with the date and who is hosting, before anybody taps — and the page opens in whatever browser your guest has, on any phone, including the ones that are not iPhones.
Can guests add it to Google Calendar?
Google, Apple, Outlook and anything else that reads a calendar file. There is a button on the invitation itself, and it works before anybody answers. If you change the time or the place afterwards, their existing entry updates — it does not add a second one — and cancelling removes it.
