Old rangoli designs for Diwali with steps

Draw in the Puja room for Deepavali or Laxmi Puja
Start with the basic star pattern.  I have added some images for all steps so that it is easy to understand
Draw two parallel lines extending outside as in the picture.

Draw to parallel lines at the top and bottom as shown in the image.Start from the 4th line ( as seen from the  left ) and take above the first line Connect to the line at the bottom of the rangoli. Similarly start from the other end of the fourth line and take above the first line
