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.   ...

Avani Avittam simple kolam

Few small kolam designs for Avani Avittam festival.  Decorate with kaavi border . The images above give us some ideas for  ( festival ) decoration with kolam.  

If my memory serves me right all the 5 designs have been created by me.  All are based on line rangoli designs .  One is a very traditional padi kolam

The first rangoli with lotus patterns can be drawn as a simple without chukki rangoli for Varamahalakshmi Pooja.
