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.   ...

Naga Chaturthi rangoli | muggulu

A festival celebrated for the well being of children and siblings has snake rangoli designs as an important part of the festival celebration. 

Some snake ( haavu ) rangoli designs for the festival.

If you would like a trendy and different Naga kolam you can try this design.

Tip - There is a tradition of drawing a serpent and her young one on the outside wall near the entrance and also in the Pooja room.

For those who live in rented houses or would not like to draw on the wall, we can draw on an A4 white sheet and paste on the wall with double sided tape. 

The serpents are also decorated with cotton vastra.

Naga Panchami story

It is said that in the month of Sravana , Panchami day, a farmer accidentally damaged an ant hill with his plough killing the young ones of cobra couple .  The female cobra took revenge on the farmer biting all his family members.  His duaghter who was married off and lived at a different place was performing Naga Panchami Pooja.  The female cobra who went there was pleased with the farmer's daughter and revived all the family members of the farmer.

She also said that who ever performs Naga Panchami Pooja with devotion will have a happy and prosperous life and the welfare of the siblings and children would be ensured.
