Description of Image:(2006) Colored sand, approximately 2’ x 3’ A kolam (also known as a rangoli) is a south Indian form of art in which rice flour or colored sand is used to make symmetric or geometric figures on the street (usually in front of the doorstep) to encourage a visit by good fortune. The students were inspired by their professor Devadasan Velmurugan to make a kolam depicting the violation of Friedel’s law due to single anomalous diffraction (SAD) from the well known paper by G.N. Ramachandran & S. Raman, Curr. Sci. 25, 1956. The students designed the kolam for the 2nd International Conference on Recent Trends in Macromolecular Structure and Function, Chennai, India, January 2006. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
