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.   ...

Sankranthi peacock muggulu Nemali rangoli

The dot pattern is 9 by 5 placed horizontally.  Actually I wanted to draw a rangoli with 9 by dots placed vertically.   After placing the dots ( probably absent minded ) I realised that I had placed them as a horizontal grid.  So I decided to create a muggu and the result is seen in the images !!Sankranthi-peacock-muggulu-image-6122a.pngDot pattern is 9 by 5

Drawing rangoli on mud floor after sprinkling water , in the morning , when the whole world is silent except for few birds who have begun another day by chirping , is a divine experience. Nowadays we draw on cement floor or on tiles only
