Shankam muggulu rangoli for Bhogi

For festivals like Bhogi , Sankranthi ( Pongal ) and also for Ekadasi.  This is a smaller version of a bigger muggu with 19 dots.  Add bright colours when drawing for festivals and kaavi border for Ekadasi .  It is a combination of three big and three small shankam.
