The dot patttern is 9 and 5 dots 2 rows, 9,7 and 5 dots - 2 rows as shown with extra pairs of dots connecting both the dot grids  We can draw for Sankranthi or Ratha saptami.  Decorate with kaavi .  Only one wheel is visible in the side view.  The chariot is created with simple repetitive patterns.  

 The dot pattern is 11 ,9 and 7 each 2 rows and 7, 5 and 3 dots - each 2 rows at the top with extra two dots Decorate with kaavi after completion.  We can draw for Ratha Sapthami also

This is a a 6 dots kolam = 6 dot 2 rows then 4 and 2                                                            A small and tricky kolam , so I have shown the step by step pics.  Can be drawn for our daily kolam at the entrance.

 This is a bigger version of a kolam drawn with eleven dots.  An old and traditional kolam that can be drawn for Ugadi, New Year or Sankranthi .  Though it is a big kolam it is quite simple.  To get an attractive rangoli , we should ensure that the curved lines drawn connecting the dots should be smooth and without joints i.e they should  be drawn in a single stretch.  The secrets for achieving these are concentration and practice .
