Easy rangoli designs - beginners

Though I have drawn all the designs myself personally I am thankful to my family for the inputs, information and help in drafting all the posts so far.  I have used the terms kolam  rangoli quite freely in all the posts. Probably there would have been differences based on classical (!) explanations in the past but today kolams can also be colourful like rangolis both in the free hand and dots type  I find that even the terms rangoli kolam and kolam rangoli are used at  present. The only area where I think kolam are different are in sikku kolam and arisi maavu kolam. Both are beautiful, challenging and can be intricate . Rangoli is muggulu in Telugu and so this post will be useful for those in search of small and simple muggulu for beginners.  This post   may have answers  kutty rangoli /kolam designs The rangoli in the image below is one of the basic designs that can be used for learning.   Form a star with two inverted triangles.   ...

14 dots Pongal kolam steps thru images

Pongal rangoli designs | Wedding kolam 
In one of the earlier posts I shared the original design with 18 dots.  This is a smaller and easier idea for the same design

When I shared an 18-dot version of this kolam called Kalyana medai ,  a follower on Facebook requested for a smaller version. 

So I created this design with 14 dots.  Such a beautiful traditional kolam with just lines and dots.  We can decorate with kaavi to get an awesome effect. 

It is called so because it represents a wedding mantap.  So, if you are looking for a traditional decoration for the wedding mantap this can definitely be used to adorn it.
