I saw this when I was in Pavillion, one afternoon. This is called "Kolam", it's kind of sandpainting which is drawn using the rice powder dyed in different colours, special for the Hindu's culture.
We are glad that we are multi-racial country, we celebrates Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavali, and all other special days for different festivals. I like telling stories about our tradition and culture, it's just if we don't learn our culture, how are we going to show others what our culture is?
My office also had a "Kolam" competition, and the winner's artwork is still displayed in the entrance of the office. It's really beautiful, it's an art, a culture, and something that we should precious and proud of.
