One of my followers sent her feedback through email "Hello Mam...
This one is inspired by your latest post on YouTube and FB...
My mom who is 82 years old is a big fan of yours... she watches all your posts... selects and gives me the execution to take it to the vasal...
If anything can be done in pooja room she will do herself.
I tried posting this thank you message with photo in fb or YouTube, but I could not.
Just reaching out to say Thank you!! You are an inspiration to millions!!
Thank you."
What motivates me to create and share lots of simple rangoli. It is such feedback through mail or in the comments section which keeps me motivated 🙏🙏.

Very simple rangoli
Decorations around the spirals as shown in the first, third, fourth and sixth images can be made with tiny petals or dots.
Drawing tiny petals requires a lot of control. We have to ensure that very little powder flows from the fingers in a metered fashion (metered but done manually by ourselves) so that we can get petals of even size and even thickness.
Achieving this in the small space available above the spirals demands control that comes from confidence and confidence comes from experience. So the mantra is practice, practise.
Till we become confident to draw these petite patterns on the spirals we can place small or big dots on the top radially. The smaller dots can be left without further decoration, the bigger dots when placed can be pressed flat.
The seventh image shows a floral petal at the centre which also has the same level of difficulty as the petals on the spirals. The petal like motifs drawn on the top and bottom are relatively easier. However, we have to draw them radially of different sizes to get a better appearance.
If you observe the rangoli designs drawn with straight lines (in this post) the lines should be as straight as possible, as thin as possible and parallel to one another. All these are drawn without the use of any aids like ruler or scale.
