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.   ...

13 to 7 pulli kolam Margazhi rangoli

The dot grid is placed vertically.  It also comes under the category of sangu kolam or star kolams.   In case you have missed it in the title the dot pattern is 13 by 7 

Rangoli tip: If you see the second image you will notice that I have joined all the dots with a single straight line with no joints.  If we practice thus, the kolam looks more beautiful.  I have not added colours but patterns with white kola podi.  We can try will colours too for Margali or New Year 

For those visiting this blog for the first time, I have rangoli videos channels on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram.

Using the search terms "Sudha Balaji rangoli " or "Rangoli sans dots " should give relevant results on search engines.

Once you draw the star pattern - connecting the dots to form this design is a little tricky.  That is why I have shown 3 steps

White rangoli has been shown.  We can add colours if required.  We can draw white kolam occasionally for Margazhi too.  Check the background i.e. the colour of the floor before you decide

While drawing the central star pattern is relatively easy, for the next step as shown in the third image acceptable degree of perfection can be achieved only if the dot grid is placed with even spaces among the dots and if the lines are drawn through the dots at a single stretch. 

Once this is achieved the remaining dots are 3,2,1 dot grid that can be used for making any pattern.  The conch design being the most common
