        xtx_lindenmayer_indian.py

Each morning women in Tamil Nadu, in southern

India, place designs, created by using rice

flour and known as kolam on the thresholds of

their homes.

These can be described by Lindenmayer systems,

which can easily be implemented with turtle

graphics and Python.

Two examples are shown here:

(1) the snake kolam

(2) anklets of Krishna

Taken from Marcia Ascher: Mathematics

Cultures
