Lines, angles and shapes -all around us
Let me ask you a question - do you know other names for God Muruga?
He is known as Karthikeya, Mayil vahana, Subrahmanya, Swaminatha and Shanmukha. He is called Shanmukha because he has six heads. Shiva is the father and Parvathy is the mother - together they are represented in a star shape.
The lines, and the angles brought out in kolams have their own meaning and significance. There are specifis shapes for specific worships and pooja. Tuesdays are dedicated to the planet, 'Sevvaai (Mars) and also to Lord Muruga, the Commander of the armed forces of Devas. (Mars carries the name of Roman god of war.) So on a Tuesday, remembering Karthikeya I have drawn a pattern of kolam that has six sides and angles. 
Try guessing which is my design and which is Sudha patti's!! Both have six sides and six points to them.
This Hexagon is an interesting shape which we can find in nature around us and the objects that we create as well. Look at these pictures, You will appreciate this. 
By the way, you can recognise triangle, rectangle, square, circle and a cubic shape, can't you? All around us, in nature as well as the things made by us, humans, we can see some angle, some shape or some line. Like you watch birds and recognise snakes, keep on the look out for these shapes around you.
