For the lamp or agal vilakku pattern on 4 sides

Form 4 more vilakku patterns in the gaps

Decorate further with white or colour rangoli .  The result we  get what is almost a square rangoli design.

If you are looking for simple deepada chukki rangoli , diya rangoli designs with dots or Karthika Deepam muggulu you may find this white rangoli design helpful.  Add colours or kaavi . We can also place diyas on the or outside the lamp patterns. What matters is the satisfaction we get , the positive vibes that emanate when we draw a kolam at the entrance for grand festivals like Dipavali . These positive vibes are infectious and can "affect" our family as also friends, relatives and neighbours.
