Easy rangoli designs - beginners

Though I have drawn all the designs myself personally I am thankful to my family for the inputs, information and help in drafting all the posts so far.  I have used the terms kolam  rangoli quite freely in all the posts. Probably there would have been differences based on classical (!) explanations in the past but today kolams can also be colourful like rangolis both in the free hand and dots type  I find that even the terms rangoli kolam and kolam rangoli are used at  present. The only area where I think kolam are different are in sikku kolam and arisi maavu kolam. Both are beautiful, challenging and can be intricate . Rangoli is muggulu in Telugu and so this post will be useful for those in search of small and simple muggulu for beginners.  This post   may have answers  kutty rangoli /kolam designs The rangoli in the image below is one of the basic designs that can be used for learning.   Form a star with two inverted triangles.   ...

Peacock muggulu without dots 
This is a free hand rangoli.  Once we are able to draw the peacock design, free hand rest is kid's play.
First draw the paisley pattern.  Then draw the head, neck and then the body and tail of the peacock.  If we do not get it right the first time, not to worry, we can try a few times till we get it right

Try this without chukki peacock rangoli for Bhogi too or as your Diwali rangoli more wali or Dhanteras rangoli

Decorate inside the paisley with pattern made with different colours.  This pictures above should give visual information if we have doubts.  Then fill the peacock with different shades of blue.  Here our imagination can decide what we want.

 I have filled the top half with one shade of blue and the bottom half with another shade of blue.  We should fill carefully so that the colours do not spill.

However, if by mistake some colours are spilled on the white rangoli we need not be concerned because invariably for this reason, the white pattern is drawn again after completing the rangoli

Inside using a cotton bud (this is possible if you are drawing on a concrete or cement floor) draw patterns according to your imagination and then fill it with rangoli colours.  Again, filling colours in the groove should be done carefully because the margin for error is very less.  If we do it in a relaxed manner without thinking too much about it we can achieve it.  Try for Sankranthi 2018.  Peacock muggulu are also popular during Diwali
