Rama chilaka muggulu Dhanurmasam rangoli

Sankranthi muggulu | Pongal kolam designs

13 to 7 chukkala rangoli.  We can term this as a medium size rangoli based on the size of the dot grid.  Again, medium is a relative term.  I consider up to 15 dots as medium size dot pattern.

Step by step images for this 13 to 7 chukki rangoli 

Draw the parrots as shown in the images

Decoration with the remaining dots is left to our imagination

Just shading may be sufficient for Dhanurmasam , for Bhogi or Pongal we can use colours 

This muggu is with 15 to 8 dots 

This is a popular parrot kolam.

There were requests for a video for this designs.  I have shared it on Facebook and YouTube

 Two muggulu designs with parrots as theme.  I have added intermediate steps.  Please try for Dhanurmasam , New Year or Sankranthi festival   If you are looking for 15 chukkala muggulu with colours or 15 chukki rangoli the kolam above may be apt.

A follower of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa told him after darshan that he had developed the ability to walk on water after a lot of practice with rigorous tapsya.  Sri Ramakrishna asked him why he was wasting so much energy when we have a boatman who can take us to the other side for a few paise.

Similarly, for me kolam, devotional songs, books and simple Pooja at home are sufficient for overcoming the stresses of life.  I am not inclined to take any courses, attend classes for removing stress that occurs in our lives.  Kolam alone is a great stress buster for me.  While I practise it daily listening to songs, occasionally I share them as videos too.   The result is there on social media.
