Navagraha kolams are yantras (tantric drawings) drawn to propitiate the planets and to invoke their blessings. These yantras for the the planets are said to originate from Soundarya Lahiri, a poem composed in praise of Devi by Sankara. Though yantra is typically etched on a copper plate, kolam is drawn in front of the home shrine using rice flour or can be drawn on paper also.
The above kolam is for Saturn (Shani).
