short_description: Generate beautiful traditional Indian Kolam designs using AI

🎨 Kolam AI Generator

Generate beautiful traditional Indian Kolam designs using Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs).

🌟 Features

• AI-Powered Generation: Create unique Kolam designs using deep learning
• Real-time Quality Analysis: Get instant feedback on symmetry, complexity, and balance
• Customizable Parameters: Control complexity and symmetry levels
• Cultural Authenticity: Preserves traditional Indian art characteristics
• Interactive Interface: Easy-to-use web interface for everyone

🚀 How to Use

1. Select Parameters:

   • Choose pattern complexity (Simple, Medium, Complex)
   • Set symmetry level (Low, Medium, High)
   • Optionally set a random seed for reproducible results

2. Generate Design:

   • Click "Generate Kolam" to create a new design
   • View the generated pattern and quality metrics

3. Analyze Quality:

   • Check symmetry scores (horizontal and vertical)
   • Review complexity and balance metrics
   • Assess overall design quality
