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.   ...

Traditional Krishna Jayanthi kolam designs

 Try this different padi kolam for Sri Krishna Jayanthi.  You have to believe it, I created this instantaneously.  Lotus patterns are most welcome for festivals.

 This is where I thought for a while before adding them as shown in the images. Dots, spirals, shading always add more beauty to the kolam . 

White rangoli is also beautiful, we can display it without colours as is usually done.

Decorate with kaavi or draw with wet rice flour for the festival.  Some families have the tradition of drawing only wet rice flour kolam for this festival and beautiful they are.  I have tried a few and have shared them in this blog. 

Also, some celebrate this festival on Ashtami day, and others give importance to the star Rohini and celebrate when the moon is in Rohini.  However, offering and Pooja method are more or less similar.  Having said that method of celebration of festivals vary even among close relatives.  

It is a pleasant experience to discuss with our relatives - regarding the Pooja method and naivedyam they offer for each festival.
