Dhanurmasam geethala muggulu pics steps

The first design above is a traditional muggu for the Dhanurmasa decoration. 

 During the time between December 15 and January 15 it is a season for muggu with beautiful and colourful muggu adorning the entrances of many homes.

 Since my mother lived in Vizianagaram ,  I am aware of it and fortunately learnt a lot from her just by watching her.  

Coming to the muggu I call it traditional because of the classical step like formation on all four sides. 

After drawing the steps on four sides I have connected the inclined lines in a single stroke , we need steady hands that come with practice to do that.  

After all the more we practice the closer we get to perfection.  The rest of the muggu is all about free hand decorations like spirals and more lines and these are according to our imagination.

 We should choose patterns that may blend well with the main design.

The next muggu above,  I actually like it very much.  Most of the designs I think of after taking the rangoli powder in my hand expect of course some common ones with dots

 It is different from the previous one due to the centre which is not a square pattern.  Though the image may be confusing for some the steps below should make the it clear

This is a very beautiful, traditional muggulu with lines,  on first sight it looks simple and it is if we know where to start .

The next muggu is made easy using a dot pattern - 5 dots 3 rows then 3 dots on either side.  It has a simple border on four sides and is decorated with lotus designs

9 dots or pulli kolangal

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
