Easy rangoli designs - beginners

30+ rangoli kolam simple designs  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 w...

We need not fill the entire rangoli with colours , only colourful lines as shown in the image below are sufficient.

We have to decide which pattern to fill completely and which to fill with colourful lines.  The thumb rule is that the main rangoli should not be unclear.

Place diyas on all sides to enhance the beauty.

Diwali is so much fun both when we are young and when our children are young.  It is a blessing to see our children enjoying the festival. When the become adults, they are busy with education and careers and the joy when they were innocent kids was more. I made it and still make it a point to make the sweets and savouries for the festival at home.  

Purchase of ingredients needed starts a few days before the festival and sweets etc are ready two or three days before Deepavali.  We need a lot for us and also for distribution among the neighbours.  

We ask our neighbours and they in turn ask us "Ganga snanam achaa" which translates to "Did you have your bath with water from Ganges".  We mix Ganga jal in the water meant for Deepavali snanam.
