Let's celebrate Happy Deepavali | Kolam @ 1 Utama

KBU School of  Design proudly presents our first Kolam Design at 1 Utama.

Special thanks to all staffs and students from School of Design.

Location 1: Jaya Jusco, Supermarket or Taxi Stand Entrance (1 Utama, Ground Floor, Old Wing)






















The kolam located at the 1utama, Old wing entitle "Dance of lights"

Deepavali, the festival of lights. A joyous celebration of the return of the King of Ayodhya to the capital of Rama often vanquishing the demon-king Ravana.The people of Ayodhya rejoiced by illuminating the capital with earthen diyas and by bursting firecrackers.



Rangolis and Kolams are designed by the ladies of a household as sacred welcoming areas for the deities during this festive season. It’s a beautiful tradition that has been past down from generation to generation.This rangolis/kolam depicts the celebration starting from a simple diyas.
From its light, a beautiful girl dances to show their joy and happiness. Soon a magnificent peacock joins in with the rhythms of the music in a dance that symbolizes their faith in its highest glory.

Below are some pictures of Kolam at location 1 : the making and final design


















Location 2: Information Counter, Ground Floor, (New Wing, 1 Utama)






The kolam located at the One Utama, Ground Floor  (New Wing) entitle " The light of love, harmony and wisdom".

The kolam is often believed to bestow prosperity and success. On a daily basis, kolams are normally created in simple white outlines to denote purity. During festive occasions; kolams can be very colourful and vibrant.

Inspired by the harmonious kolam designs, the students and lecturers at KBU School of Design choose to design a peacock with its colourful feathers spread out while it looks shyly as it warmly welcomes visitors to 1 Utama Shopping Centre to share the festive occasion of Deepavali. The peacock’s feathers symbolize good luck and health.

May our humble peacock bring light, love and harmony to all shoppers at 1 Utama.
