Kambi kolangal eppadi poduvathu
Step by step images to draw these beautiful traditional rangoli designs
A beautiful 9 pulli kambi kolam ( in Tamil for twisted rangoli ) through pics
The dot pattern is 9 dots 5 rows, 5 dots 2 rows then one extra dot on all four sides
Kambi kolam are the best kolam designs for our daily vasal kolam because once we practice we can draw small
and even some relatively big designs quite easily and in very little time.
An important factor to be taken into account since time is a premium for us nowadays.
Most kambi kolam have bilateral symmetry. i.e they are symmetrical when viewed from two planes.
When we travel by road through villages and towns these variety of kolam are ubiquitous. It is in cities that
we should revive this tradition of drawing kolam daily.
Call them gantina rangoli , melikala muggulu in Kannada and Telugu respectively , these classical rangoli designs
may rank among the best in the world of rangoli designs.
This kolam uses 9 dots 3 rows, 7 dots 2 rows and 3 dots one row. A somewhat tricky kolam , so I have added pictures to show the steps clearly ( I hope !) Except for the centre , a Bramha mudichi type rangoli
The next kolam uses 9 by 1 dot pattern. It consists of drawing a pattern four times and they are not connected to each other.
This is one of the most awesome rangoli designs I have tried. Hope you will like it too. Beautifully symmetrical.
