ಬದುಕು ರಂಗೋಲಿ (baduku rangoli)

Received this in the mail (Thank you):
i would have normally said it repesents a drawing on intricate designs on the floor by women in villages.However, it represents much more than that, it talks about intricatices of life and way one has to face trying circumstances in life :)
however, the missing piece is how symmetry in the muggu translates to complications in life. any ideas?

I don't have any idea how the symmetry in muggu translates to complications in life. Maybe, it doesn't. Life probably has lesser dimensions than what we credit for. I really liked the idea that rangoli, a simple line drawing, could be a simile to life. Here's an attempt to capture the thought.

ಹಣೆಬರಹ ವಿಧಿಬರಹ ಸುಖ ದುಃಖ ರಾಗ ವಿರಹ
-ಗಳ್ ಬೆಸೆದ ರೇಖೆಗಳನ್ದದಿ ತೀಡಿ, ನಿಜ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿ ಮರ್ಮವನು
ತೆರನೆ ವರ್ಣದಿ ಮರೆಮಾಚಿ, ಹೊಸೆದ ಬದುಕು ರಂಗೋಲಿ
ಪೂರ್ಣತೆಯೇ ಮಂತ್ರವದನರಿಯೊ - junku(?)ತಿಂಮ

Translation:
Destiny/Fate, happiness, sorrow, love and hate (he wrote) as entwined lines, hid the true essence of reality in all its colours. (thus writ) life is this rangoli. Know that closure is its biggest secret.
