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.   ...

15-8 dots muggulu duck muggulu designs

There are many methods of drawing a rangoli with dots.  Free hand designs flow from our imagination and hence it is better to follow it to  create one. 

Dot muggulu on the other hand can be drawn in several methods.  It is like solving a math problem. 

 There may be many methods but we must try to find the easiest method. 

 I try to share an easy method from my experience in drawing these designs for decades. 

One more popular muggu drawn for festivals like Sankranti or New Year.  For such occasions we can fill the muggu with beautiful colours.  

 Even when I try new muggulu design with dots intuitively I try to proceed with the easiest method. 

The results are evident from the comments I get on YouTube and Facebook.   Don't to become tired, where from do you get so much energy my viewers ask. 

Actually, it is the feedback, doubts from the viewers of my videos that drives me and gives me energy to keep going

despite my busy schedule as a home maker.

If you want information on chukki rangoli designs 15 to 8 , birds kolam with 15 dots or pulli vacha kolam big size for Bhogi or Mattu Pongal maybe this rangoli will be of interest.  I remember sharing the same kolam with colours filled in another post.  While all other patterns are quite simple and easy drawing the birds by connecting the dots to get perfect or near perfect shape is the most important factor to be considered and achieved to get result we desire.
