Description
Every morning across Tamil Nadu, women trace intricate geometric patterns in rice flour at their doorsteps — a kolam, redrawn daily and washed away by evening, meant to welcome guests and, in tradition, feed the ants before the day begins. EthniiChic's Kolam Wooden Name Board takes that fleeting daily ritual and makes it permanent.
The design is built in layers: a central raised plaque carries your household name in hand-painted gold-tone lettering, framed above and below by open wooden slats hand-painted with the kolam's dot-and-loop pattern in white, echoing the chalk-and-rice-flour original. Two brass bells hang from rings at the bottom corners for a traditional finishing touch. Share your exact wording with us at the time of ordering and our artists hand-paint it onto the plaque.
Because it's pattern-based rather than deity-based, it suits homes that want a distinctly South Indian, culturally rooted entrance piece without a specific religious figure — a fitting housewarming gift for Tamil households in particular.
Material: Pine Wood, brass bells
Dimensions: 46 cm x 20.5 cm x 3.5 cm
