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.   ...

Karadaiyan nombu special padi kolam

Traditional rangoli designs with lines are preferred for the celebration of this festival in Tamil Nadu..  It is similar to Vata Savitri Vrata

Married women pray Goddess Sakthi for the welfare of their husbands.  As with any festival decorate the kolam  with kaavi the padi kolam. Kaavi (ochre) brick powder gives a beautiful effect to the kolam, enhances the ambience of the house, positive vibes rule.
