A pookalam is essentially a floral arrangement made on the ground which is usually circular in shape. This symbolises harmony, prosperity and unity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, families used flowers from their gardens to make simple circular patterns during the ten days of Onam. Today pookalam can stretch across several feet, including dozens of flower varieties and depict everything from mythological gods to environmental messages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_makes_a_competition_prize_winning_pookalam_design\"><\/span><strong>What makes a competition prize winning pookalam design?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not every pookalam wins a prize. The winning ones usually have a few things in common;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Creativity_and_Theme\"><\/span><strong>1. Creativity and Theme<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best pookalams tell a story. Some show King Mahabali being welcomed by his people, others highlight Lord Vishnu\u2019s Vamana avatar, and many modern designs focus on themes like environmental protection or women empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Symmetry_loves_neatness\"><\/span><strong>2. Symmetry loves neatness<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Judges often love neatness. A winning pookalam has a clean border, perfect symmetry and balanced detailing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Beautiful_colours\"><\/span><strong>3. Beautiful colours&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For pookalam, fresh flowers in bright shades like yellow marigold, red hibiscus, violet globe amaranth and white Jasmine are chosen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Innovation\"><\/span><strong>4. Innovation&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Creativity often wins hearts. Some teams add 3D effects by layering petals, while others use lamps or eco-friendly elements. A few even make pookalams that look like paintings when seen from above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Team_work_and_speed\"><\/span><strong>5.
