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.   ...

Duck kolam designs with dots steps thru images

Pongal kolam | Sankranthi muggulu | Sankranti rangoli designs 

This blog post may have information on 

a) chukki rangoli 15 to 8 Deepavali with colour
b) 15 to 8 chukkala muggulu

Adding colours to a rangoli gives an awesome effect.  

The picture below shows the step after drawing the central pattern. 

I have started showing the steps from the second duck so that we can have the first of the ducks as reference

Probably this can be considered as a ubiquitous rangoli during the festival Pedda Panduga or Sankranti. 

 It is preferred because though it s a 15 to 8 dots chukki rangoli it can be drawn quite easily.

 I am of the view that more the number of pics showing the steps the easier it is learn and follow 

Happy Pongal 2019 to those who follow my blog !

In this beautiful muggu , the trick is connecting the dots to form the head and neck in a single stroke in this otherwise simple rangoli.  This enhances the beauty of the kolam

Instead of filling the entire pattern we can shade as shown also to save time

I have already shared this rangoli with step-by-step pictures, last year if I remember right.  The problem is even though I try to be careful and note down the kolangal I have already shared, sometimes I miss.  To err is human, to forgive is divine :). 

Fortunately, the previous demonstration was only with white kola podi and this one has colours added for shading.  So, it is not a duplicate but gives two different versions for comparison and for learning too.
