A very old and traditional kolam
Place 8 rows of 16 dots
Then 8 dots 4 rows on either side
Mark the centres as shown
Connect with lines , the next step,observe the pictures carefully
After all sides are connected
Next connect on all four sides
3rd side
Connect the edges to get smooth curved lines
Place dots and designs inside to complete the rangoli
Really hats off to ladies of our country who could do such creative rangoli designs . I am not surprised having seen the elder ladies in my family sit with us after dinner creating kolam designs.
Fortunately there was not distraction in the form of television etc those days so time was utilised in such innovative ways.
When we add colours to this kolam as we usually do for Margazhi , Sankranthi , it is better to draw few colourful lines to enhance the beauty because filling with colour may obfuscate the beautiful design.
