Two chukki rangoli designs simple yet beautiful. Having shared hundreds or probably thousands of designs (I have lost count of) I still have the motivation to continue.
This is due to the feedback I receive on social media i.e Facebook , Instagram.
First rangoli tips - Many viewers ask me whether I mix rice flour (akki hittu) probably because the images appear bright.
Though I have shared this information in many places in this rangoli blog let me share again for those who visit the first time or for those who have not yet read posts that contain this information.
I use a mixture of white rangoli and rice flour, the ratio is for 3 parts white rangoli I mix one part rice flour.
White rangoli powder is sieved first and then both are mixed thoroughly. This proportion I find gives the best result with the combination of desired characteristics i.e. texture and brightness.
Depending upon the quality of white kolamaavu we may vary the ratio slightly. Check by drawing some patterns and satisfy ourselves.
Now let us go through the images to learn this simple chukki rangoli step by step.

It makes me happy when I come to know that some youngsters are inspired by my contribution and have started drawing rangoli daily. So, I have decided to share step by step images for the benefit of those looking for chukki rangoli designs for beginners. The white kolam images above and below are self-explanatory. I hope they clearly explain how overlapping triangles are drawn. We have to carfully chose the dots among which the triangles are drawn.

The remaining dots are used with the bell like patterns shown in the picture below. You may have observed that the lines are drawn without a break.

The first two white muggulu images show the steps required for this rather simple kolam. The result appears to be a rather innocuous design. When we add motifs and a colour changes the outlook of the outline rangoli.

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 colours 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
Make a note of thee chukki rangoli simple and beautiful for daily purpose kolam.
