Simple white rangoli designs for Diwali

 I have shared these rangoli with colours elsewhere in this blog.  I am sharing them here so that you can colour them for Diwali festival according to your imagination.  You may also use them for vasal (entrance ) kolam if you are looking for some intricate designs  -  Circular rangoli image no. 1

Using floral petals as the base and creating a kolam with various motifs , patterns is a popular type of  without chukki rangoli designs.  We can use 8, 16 or 32 petals.  64 petals are also possible .  However 32 petal pattern is itself intricate for which we have to apply lots of concentration.  Thin lines are required to ensure the pattern is compact.

Rangoli design no. 3   Complex may not be the correct definition for the pic shown below.  Drawing small patterns with rangoli powder comes with practice.

Some of you may be aware that I share rangoli videos on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram.  I share some interesting comments and feedback I get there on my blog.

Recently,  I had this comment for one of my videos

"Coming here first time. Amazing ...authentic... alignment ....attractive....accolades pouring unto to you our dear artist . Purely divine utterly beautiful .  Background music also synced so divinely.....Lovely experience.....I love Rangolisansdots " 

 I have shared some of the adjectives that she used as an alliteration.
 So far as background music is concerned I  use Carnatic music provided by Facebook.  

Alignment -  I think she refers to symmetry.  For symmetry we should practice without aids to attain near perfection.  Yes near perfection because with this technique we cannot be perfectly perfect.

A famous sitar maestro once said , " If I do not practice for one day ,  I know it.  If I do not practice for a week , the accompanists know it.  If I do not practice for a month the audience knows it.  So I practice daily "

So practice is the secret for symmetry in kolam.

9 dots or pulli kolangal

I f you have come to this blog post in search of  9 dots kolam , 9 to 5 chukki rangoli , 9 chukkala muggulu  or 9 dots rangoli designs you may have come  the right place. As my mother used to say ''manolayam'' - concentration on the task in hand and thinking of nothing else.  Easier said than done.  In fact I find it difficult to stop a kolam at any step ( practitioners of kolam I think will agree ) but time and space are constraints. After viewing these kolangal designs please also like my Facebook page Rangoli sans dots  As they say regimentation and creativity do not go hand in hand.   The choices can be limited only by our imagination.  Each will be beautiful or awesome in its own way. So we must allow our imagination to do its job and the probability of getting an acceptable kolam design is quite high!  Now for some pulli vecha kolangal with 9 dots grid or 9 dots muggulu or chukki rangoli designs First a simple 9 pulli 5 varisai deepam kolam for our Margali, Ne
