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.   ...

During Dhanurmasam there is a tradition of placing kumbalakayi huvvu (yellow in colour) on a cow dung ball.  Around this four more are placed.  All are dried and used to boil water for bathing on Rathasapthami !!

Those who have read the terms of use of the blog would be aware that I have obtained Copyrights from the Competent Authority for the content on this blog.  It is to discourage people using the images of this blog on their websites. 

 We all know how much effort is required to create and/or draw the designs and fill them with colours.  So to discourage them I have added a condition that the images should not be used on websites without my permission. 

 My idea is that these designs should be used by individuals for their personal use i.e. learning and drawing at the entrance and not for any commercial use without my permission.
