Some of the most novel ideas for creating rangoli designs were and are being thought of by me to help those who want to make rangolis for Laxmi Puja and Diwali but are still learning the rangoli art making.
Necessity is the mother of invention - though I am comfortable with various types of traditional kolam making , I was and am being flooded with requests for some easy rangoli making ideas either for beginners or for kids.  Consequently , the number of innovative rangoli ideas I " invented " .  Here are some of them in this blog post too.

The first set of images above show how we can draw a flower rangoli design using a lemon squeezer.  Please remember to wash it carefully like any other accessory we use in the kitchen because we do not know what these commercially available rangoli colours are made from.  

The steps are as follows

  • Take a circular plate and draw the periphery with white colours
  • Fill white background with white rangoli with sprinkler or with fingers
  • Place the lemon squeezer at different places to get floral patterns
  • Connect them with stems made from cotton bud and green colours
  • Decorate the circumference with bullets and more colours
  • Place diyas at many places -  Deepavali is about diyas among other festivities.

Use cotton bud or ear bud to create simple mutli colour rangoli designs

Form the circle with rangoli powder using a circular object.  Remove it carefully.  Then first place bullets inside as shown in the images above.  Form designs inside the circle with ear bud or cotton buds.  
Then form bullets outside the circle to form swastik ( for Laxmi Pujan ) and flower designs. Use different colours to get a beautiful mutli colour rangoli created with a very simple method

This is another easy method to create designs and patterns for Diwali.  Place a strainer on the floor.  Fill same colour or different colours in each circle.  If we fill different colours in each circle we get the pattern as shown when the strainer is removed.  Then using an ear bud form flower designs for all the bullets.  We can add bullets outside also - I have added green in this rangoli.  Decorate them further with cotton bud and yellow lines.  Place diyas all around to get an awesome ambiance.

Small circular rangoli with CD and ice cream stick


The next rangoli is a basic circular design drawn using a CD, then a colour of our choice is sprayed.
Using an ice cream stick with one end at the centre the stick is moved around the circle to get a grainy finish.  Use a cotton bud to draw floral petals inside.  Further decoration along the circumference is with patterns that are used in Sanskar Bharti designs and bullets.  The images should take us through the steps.

Easy rangoli designs - beginners

kutty rangoli / kolam designs The rangoli in the image below is one of the basic designs that can be used for learning.  Step 1 : Form a star with two inverted triangles. In the second step draw another set of parallel lines to the lines in the star design to get the stage in the top right side of the image.  In the third stage floral petals are added around the star design and finally add another set of petals inside the bigger petals.  If required add colours as shown or leave it plain and white.        Another easy and simple rangoli design using a star shaped pattern at the centre.  The rangoli is shown in two steps.  The final image below and intermediate step in the photo above  Rangoli in the image  on the left is also a basic star design.

Ratha saptami festival details muggulu

Ratha sapthami is similar to Sankranti when we worship the Sun God.  It is also similar to Sankranti because it commemorates the start of Uttarayana ( Uttar means north and ayana - direction ) .  From mythology we infer that Sun rides his chariot  , half a year south of the equator and half a year north of the equator.  North of the equator is called Uttarayana and South of the equator is called Dakshiyana .  So the change of direction of Sun from Dakshinayana ( Dakshina means south ) to Uttarayana or in other words the movement of the Sun to the north of the equator is celebrated as Ratha Saptami.     The photo shows the arrangement for the festival.  A clean wooden plank is taken , and a ratham or chariot like rangoli or muggu is drawn on the plank with kaavi border.  A grid made with lines is drawn on the bottom right of the chariot rangoli.  Here we place rice, toor dhal , chana dhal , lima beans ( mochai ) , Indian jujube ( Ezhandha pazham ) etc are placed .  A pho
