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.   ...

Chukki rangoli 9 to 5 with colours

This is a common rangoli called bitter gourd rangoli as the shapes resemble bitter gourds (hagalakayi ).
Draw for Dhanurmasam .  We usually draw a lot of chukki rangolis during this month. 

I have shown step by step pictures for though it is a simple rangoli just is case someone may need it. What do you think, are so many pictures for steps necessary. Please offer your comments.

Some viewers who watch my videos and reels state "something calm about your kolam" "as a beginner I felt great after completing it "

Probably one reason I can think of as to why my videos are liked is because though I have drawn hundreds of designs "manolayam - total absorption and concentration in the task done " is present in each video.

Colourful lines are sufficient , so that the white rangoli is not obfuscated

My father-in-law had a huge library.  He was a voracious reader.  His favourite author was Alexandre Dumas who wrote The Three Musketeers, 20 years after, Son of Pothos (the names of books are given by husband.  He has read them because his father forced him to read :)) So many of his analogies and examples were based on sword fighting (fencing). 

He said no master should teach all his/her techniques to the students.  This may result in the student surpassing the teacher and it is dangerous in sword fighting.

However, I have not heeded to his idea in my videos on rangoli tips.  I think I have shared all little knowledge I possess so that many more people take up to this art.  So far as social media is concerned the algorithm decides which videos to promote so I need not worry about it. 

I think those who have social media accounts and share videos on any topic can understand what I am trying to say.
