Lines muggulu Sankranthi step by step

 Muggulu with lines are quite popular during festivals and for Fridays.  This geethala muggu is shown in a few steps for easy understanding

This is one of the most attractive lines kolam muggulu designs that we can try for festivals 

Can be drawn for Bhogi rangoli .  In Tamil Nadu big rangoli designs are drawn for Kanum Pongal and Mattu Pongal ( when Pooja is offered to the bulls and cows )

Usually dot rangoli are preferred .  We can try straight line kolam designs also for a change.

One line rangoli designs or single line rangoli designs of this type are traditional old fashioned rangoli design without chukki.

These traditional kolam with lines are beautiful in their own way.  Though they appear simple , they can be challenging because we have to draw 4 parallel lines ( as humanly possible ) .  More the symmetry more the beauty.  It is a good practice to draw thin lines ,  for getting thin lines take minimum quantity of rangoli powder .  This is an important rangoli tip.  

These lines are called ezhai .  Ezhai refers to a single strand of a thread.  We can imagine how thin the lines must be then. 

The next muggu is also a different type that I created recently.  Here are the steps through pics

                                       

Draw the above curved lines in a single stretch .  This will enhance the beauty of the design
