This rangoli is not as simple as it appears to be when we see the colourful photo. It is slightly complicated.
One of the most important aspects to be noted in this rangoli design is the marking of the position where the centre of the overlapping patterns is drawn.
If we miss that point (seven such points are to be identified) then the whole exercise will have to be done again.
A point to be noted is connecting the dots with curved lines. This should be done as smoothly as possible so that the effect is beautiful. This comes with practice.
The line should just go through the dots, and we should not try to connect the dots
Complicated and different rangoli can be drawn for Sankranti or Pongal. A rangoli suitable for New Year also. Such designs will be our pride and neighbours' envy surely!
Place the 13 to 7 dot grids ( idukku pulli , as I have already said, idukku pulli or in between dots are suitable for drawing curved lines due to the position of the dots in the grid.
Start the first design from the 7th dot in the row with 13 dots. This will be the centre of the dot grid.

Now we can see that the first pattern has been completed
The next pattern on the left start in the same row of dots and from the 3rd dot from the left end. This will ensure that the patterns just touch each other on one side
The patterns touching at a point on the side
Similarly on the right side, start from the 3rd dot from the end and the image shows the patterns touching each other
Draw the patterns, i.e the two designs on the bottom. Again, choose the location of the centre so that the patterns will touch on the side and on the top. The finger is pointing to the dot. This will be in row with 9 dots. It will be the 3rd dot from the end.
Similarly the designs on the top are also created by connecting the dots

We can either fill the entire rangoli with colours or add colourful curved lines inside the designs. Use bright colours like pink and orange. The quality of rangoli colours is also important to get smooth lines. Sometimes it is noticed that rangoli colours do not flow properly leading to problems is filling. We can not draw lines with such a type of rangoli powder.
