Easy rangoli designs - beginners

kutty rangoli / kolam designs The rangoli in the image below is one of the basic designs that can be used for learning.  Step 1 : Form a star with two inverted triangles. In the second step draw another set of parallel lines to the lines in the star design to get the stage in the top right side of the image.  In the third stage floral petals are added around the star design and finally add another set of petals inside the bigger petals.  If required add colours as shown or leave it plain and white.        Another easy and simple rangoli design using a star shaped pattern at the centre.  The rangoli is shown in two steps.  The final image below and intermediate step in the photo above  Rangoli in the image  on the left is also a basic star design.

Ratha saptami festival details muggulu

Ratha sapthami is similar to Sankranti when we worship the Sun God.  It is also similar to Sankranti because it commemorates the start of Uttarayana ( Uttar means north and ayana - direction ) .  From mythology we infer that Sun rides his chariot  , half a year south of the equator and half a year north of the equator.  North of the equator is called Uttarayana and South of the equator is called Dakshiyana .  So the change of direction of Sun from Dakshinayana ( Dakshina means south ) to Uttarayana or in other words the movement of the Sun to the north of the equator is celebrated as Ratha Saptami.     The photo shows the arrangement for the festival.  A clean wooden plank is taken , and a ratham or chariot like rangoli or muggu is drawn on the plank with kaavi border.  A grid made with lines is drawn on the bottom right of the chariot rangoli.  Here we place rice, toor dhal , chana dhal , lima beans ( mochai ) , Indian jujube ( Ezhandha pazham ) etc are placed .  A pho
