Suraj sits crouched on the floor, sprinkling the colored sand from a strainer on a ‘two feet by two feet’ square patch on the floor.
With great concentration, he sprinkles different colored sand, one by one, one layer of colored sand on the top of the other layer, creating colorful designs. Quite satisfied, he looks up to get his teacher’s attention and awaits the next instruction. “Now make some design, using your finger, do whatever you feel like” says his teacher. Suraj stretches his first finger and slowly, carefully, moves his finger, tracing randomly, digging into the layers of colored sand, producing beautiful design.
Quite satisfied, he places leaves and flowers on the border of the square, keeps a ‘metal tray with a tumbler and coconut’ in the centre of the square and then decides to decorate the rest of the square with colored stones and mirrors.
