Karthigai Deepam kolam with dots
Place 3 dots in eight directions. Draw three lines of decreasing length as shown.
We can draw a bigger version of the kolam also. The step-by-step images are self-explanatory.
Draw diya or lamp patterns because like Diwali Karthigai Deepam is also a festival of lights.
This type of dot pattern is quite common in many Pooja room rangoli designs. Draw the set of intersecting lines and place dots as shown.
The number of dots placed radially can increase from two to four, five etc. The more the number of dots, the more complicated the rangoli becomes and hence demands more concentration.
If we want to make it more difficult, we can have sixteen dots instead of eight dots in the radial direction.
So, to keep it as simple as possible to get an easy Karthigai Deepam rangoli, I have used just three dots radially.
The dots must also be placed in such a way that they are collinear. (Internet says that this term refers to points lying on the same straight line).
Also, when the intersecting lines are extended imaginarily, they should form a perfect straight line without any bends.

To reiterate, the size of the rangoli design is based on the number of lines and dots we use. The three dots are used to connect three parallel lines drawn from one edge of the horizontal lines. I have used some basic geometry to explain the steps for the pic below. I could not think of any other easier method to give the details!

This is a small kolam, I have shared bigger versions too. The feedback from the bigger designs based on the analytics for the videos was that the audience retention was lesser when compared to other popular videos of mine. I understood that viewers love the pattern but are looking for small and simple rangoli designs. Hence this small and beautiful kolam for Thiru Karthigai

If you are looking for deepa rangoli designs with dots, vilakku kolam with dots or diya rangoli designs for Diwali Lakshmi Pooja this traditional kolam may be suitable.
There is a popular kolam for Pooja room usually drawn on Friday along with Aishwarya kolam and Hridaya kamalam. My sister draws all the three for Friday Puja. That rangoli has 5 dots on eight sides with 5 lines of increasing length (when viewed from outside to inside).
I understood that a few found it somewhat difficult and hence I created this pattern with 3 dots in eight directions and three lines of increasing lengths. I am happy with the result.
Many persons (including me) are comfortable with combinations of 2 and 4 lines, So I have added an extra small line below the lamp patterns so that we get sets of four lines on all eight sides.
Another advantage is that this kolam is more compact than the original one and hence we should be able to accommodate easily in Pooja mandirs.
Nowadays with a lot of constraints for space particularly in cities a separate Puja room is a premium. Readymade Puja mandirs are used in one of the rooms. So, we may have to draw on one of the shelves of the mandir.
If you are looking for a Diwali jhoti rangoli simple I think this beautiful traditional pattern may be suitable. Try it with white powder or directly with colours. If you want to try is as Karthigai Deepam kolam for kids please do so after checking suitability for age.
