America's newly elected President Joe Biden and newly elected Vice President Kamala Harris are scheduled to take oath on 20 January. Traditional Indian KOLAM (similar to Rangoli) will also be engraved at the beginning of the online ceremony related to swearing. KOLAM, a traditional Indian art form of drawing geometric patterns on the floors as a sign of welcome, was part of the virtual kick-off ceremony of the inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden and his deputy Kamala Harris, who traces her origin to Tamil Nadu where these auspicious designs adorn almost every household.

In Tamil Nadu, where Harris has roots, women draw Kolams on the ground to invite health and prosperity into houses where they are displayed. Pictures of thousands of Kolam tiles were on Saturday woven into a video to welcome Biden and Harris in the spirit of 'Presidency for All' and to showcase the multi-cultural heritage of America. Over 1,800 individuals from across the US participated in the online initiative to create thousands of Kolam designs to celebrate the historic event.

More than 1,800 individuals from across the US and many from India participated in the online initiative to create thousands of kolam designs to celebrate the historic event. The initial idea was to have these kolam patterns from across the country in front of the White House as a symbol of a good beginning to the new administration.
