Crocheted Laxmi's Footprint
Hello friends,
 |
| Fig 1 |
My reader out of India may not undersatnd, what is this? In Indian culture this is tradition to draw feet of Goddess Laxmi. In Maharashtra the feets of Goddess Laxmi are dailly drawn by Rangoli either near Tulsi tree in backyard or at prayer place in home as a symbol of prosperity, enrichment and happiness. It is supposed that keeping or drawing and worshinpping such feet in an incoming position brings all types of prosperity and happiness in our home.
My friend Pratibha Kulkarni0., one of the subscribers of my youtube channel "Kalopasak" suggested me to crochet such feet (as she wanted to make them for her marriage Rukhawat). Hence I made it. Through this post I wanted to thank her for inspiring me to do this project.
To show that some one worshipped them, I put some termeric and kumkum (yellow and red small cut wool) on the feet and also night Jasmine or some more flowers.
The night jasmine flowers I have already made and the link of that post is here,
I use pink and red (you may use dark pink as in fig 1) 4 ply wool and 2.5 mm crochet hook.
With red it will look as in fig 2.
