Tamilians are proud of their rich culture which is displayed through its rich literature, iconic architecture, vibrant cinematic culture and absorbing art. Kolam is a daily chore and forms an important ritualistic art form for Tamil Hindu women. Each day before dawn, millions of women in the town, villages and the cities of Tamil Nadu draw kolam on the thresholds and floors of houses, temples and businesses. In Tamil culture, the threshold is of great significance as the meeting point of the internal and the external and kolam is one of the many manifestations of that significance.
