13 to 7 dots kolam images video steps

This is one of the latest additions to the videos on YouTube. 

 A 13-7 dot muggu drawn for Dhanurmasam ( Margazhi ) when we find big , bright and beautiful rangoli ( excuse the alliteration ) adorning the houses.  

If you are wondering how I learnt so many rangolis,  when I was young I had the privilege of observing my mother and my elder sisters from close quarters when they made rangoli .

 It is not an exaggeration when I say that my mother never drew a rangoli a second time.  So rich was her imagination for free hand designs and her memory of the common dotted muggu. 

She never had any book for reference.  Her memory was her rangoli book :) The link to the video - I have given at the end of the post.  I think the images may be sufficient

Still if you need it , you can watch the video

The central flower is drawn around the 7th dot in the row with 13 dots so that it occupies the centre of the rangoli.Two more flowers are drawn on either side as shown in the picture below

 The next two photos show the flowers at the top and bottom being located and drawn.  The position of the flowers ,  I think is evident from the photos themselves.

Now we have dots between the flowers that can be used to draw the birds.  The pic below shows the tail being drawn.

Colours are left to our imagination,  I have used three different shades of blue.  A close up showing the filling of colours in the rangoli

I f you have come to this blog post in search of  9 dots kolam , 9 to 5 chukki rangoli , 9 chukkala muggulu  or 9 dots rangoli designs you may have come  the right place. As my mother used to say ''manolayam'' - concentration on the task in hand and thinking of nothing else.  Easier said than done.  In fact I find it difficult to stop a kolam at any step ( practitioners of kolam I think will agree ) but time and space are constraints. After viewing these kolangal designs please also like my Facebook page Rangoli sans dots  As they say regimentation and creativity do not go hand in hand.   The choices can be limited only by our imagination.  Each will be beautiful or awesome in its own way. So we must allow our imagination to do its job and the probability of getting an acceptable kolam design is quite high!  Now for some pulli vecha kolangal with 9 dots grid or 9 dots muggulu or chukki rangoli designs First a simple 9 pulli 5 varisai deepam kolam for our Margali, Ne
