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.   ...

  This is due to the feedback I receive on social media i.e  Facebook , Instagram.

It makes me happy when I come to know that  some youngsters are inspired by my contribution and have started drawing rangoli daily

Rangoli with dots is called chukki rangoli in Kannada.  These images show how to draw a small and beautiful rangoli with 7 by 4 dots.  For our daily entrance rangoli one more design that you can make a note of .

Add colours and free hand patterns to beautify the design more. Two of the smallest and best chukki rangoli designs.

The three pictures above show a very simple rangoli .  I have started with drawing lines outside the dot pattern instead of connecting them.  As they say regimentation suppresses creativity !!

You can try this without colors as daily chukki rangoli or for festivals like Ugadi, Sankranthi if you want a small and easy kolam.

Rangoli tip :  It is a good practice to draw without moving around the design for small and medium sized rangolis
