Chikku kolam big step by step pics

There are two ways of drawing a big chikku kolam.  One with big dot grids or using small kolams and connecting them.This kolam uses a common 5 by 5 dots chikku kolam.

These type are also called kulam kolam.  Kulam means pond.  The centre of the design represents the pond and the four sides the steps that lead to the pond as we see in temples of Tamil Nadu

Though dot patterns are used they are not chukkala muggulu or chukki rangoli.  They differ because the lines go round the dots
