Rangoli kolam designs without dots steps

The beauty of traditional kolam is the creativity.  It is amazing and awesome that our mothers and grandmothers could create so many designs ( this rangoli was created by me :) )  .

I remember , we sisters discussing with our mother , discussing the various patterns that could be created .  With a chalk piece we used to create on the floor infinite designs . 

 The most beautiful design was usually decided by consensus.  So many positive attributes are given to kolam by modern day scientists like -  it improves hand , eye coordination ,  exercise to the brain and so on. 

We were blissfully unaware of these benefits of drawing kolam.  We created , drew with religious fervor because it is a tradition .

Coming to this kolam ,  the free hand motifs outside make it more beautiful.  However while selecting such patterns we should ensure that they are congruous with the main design.  This comes from experience.

How awesome can a traditional rangoli get ! Images show the step by step procedure | Beautiful without chukki rangoli

We can add colours for Dhanurmasam or Sankranti otherwise a simple kaavi filling here and there should enhance the attractiveness.

Draw a square and parallel lines on all four sides.  Remove excess length if any

Connect the lines with inclined lines.  The next few images show the steps.  It is not complicated and it follows a rule .  When seen on the image ,  the bottom right connects to the top left and the bottom left connects to the top right and so on.

9 dots or pulli kolangal

I f you have come to this blog post in search of  9 dots kolam , 9 to 5 chukki rangoli , 9 chukkala muggulu  or 9 dots rangoli designs you may have come  the right place. As my mother used to say ''manolayam'' - concentration on the task in hand and thinking of nothing else.  Easier said than done.  In fact I find it difficult to stop a kolam at any step ( practitioners of kolam I think will agree ) but time and space are constraints. After viewing these kolangal designs please also like my Facebook page Rangoli sans dots  As they say regimentation and creativity do not go hand in hand.   The choices can be limited only by our imagination.  Each will be beautiful or awesome in its own way.
