In Pics: 11 days, 11 pookalams

We'd asked you, dear readers, to share your Onam pics.

HR professional and Nerul resident Anjali Rajesh, 31 celebrated Onam this year with 11 different floral arrangements.

Anjali started making pookalam from Attam (as per Malayalam calender), September 4, 2016.

She continued to make new patterns each day, to follow the tradition.

Take a look at her designs!

Day 3

Day 5

Day 6

Day 7

Day 8

Day 9

Day 11
