Beautiful rangoli kolam designs with dots for Sankranti or Pongal
A very old and traditional kolam . 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.
If you are looking for big rangoli designs with dots for competition , traditional big rangoli with dots,
chukki rangoli big size this design may be useful.
Images of big sikku kolam may be intimidating so also this kolam . Actually, they are easy if we know the steps. Hence I have added many images showing the steps.
Place 8 rows of 16 dots for this beautiful Pongal rangoli
Then 8 dots 4 rows on either side to proceed with this kolam that can be drawn for Bhogi rangoli too

Connect the edges to get smooth curved lines for one of the awesome rangoli designs with dots
Place dots and designs inside to complete the rangoli
Few viewers/followers complimented me for showing the easiest method to draw this kolam and many other designs, the bigger ones. They said that they wanted to try it and that is my idea. I want people to try these patterns on the floor outside the entrance, the traditional way.
How do I find the easy or easiest method. I try a random method and even if it is difficult I continue till I complete it. Along the way, many times, an easy method, flashes across the mind.
After completing, I place the dots again on the notebook, I use for practice and try the easier method I thought of. Usually, it is final. Afterwards, I place dots on the granite slab that I have and try it with rangoli powder once or twice.
Once I am satisfied, I am ready for the video but that is on another day. You may wonder, I am taking so much trouble, the answer is simple, I simply love
drawing kolam and cannot get bored with it.
My love for the art translates into benefit for the learners of this art form.
