The Research analyses the narratives behind the Kolam practice in Tamilnadu. Kolam is a threshold design drawn at the entrance of the houses in Tamilnadu and other parts of South India. It has a long history of origin and evolution and the researcher examines the various available narratives behind the Kolam Practice. Though Kolam has evolved with the time, the stories behind its practice have become unknown; hence, this work aims to unearth various narratives associated with the Kolam. The researcher has undertaken an analysis of various stories which elucidate the practice of Kolams. This research will certainly throw light into how the Kolam as a practice came into existence and how it was construed in the earlier period.
