I have used just two colours to shade.  Please note that I draw free hand designs without any aids.  I do not draw the pattern first with a piece of chalk.  If we practice regularly we can get better at symmetry.

I just love the orange colour used in the periphery.  Actually this is what makes the rangoli stand out in what is otherwise a simple pattern.

Best and easy rangoli no 3

A very popular rangoli on social media particularly YouTube few years ago.  Making use of the square base at the centre is an easy way to create a rangoli for festival.  I have not used any colours.  What we have to observe is the absence of any joints in the curved lines.  If we draw without joints the beauty of a rangoli is enhanced manifold.

There should be at least one rangoli with diya or lamp patterns since Diwali is after all a festival of lights.  It is probably one of the easiest and simplest diyas rangoli with dots.  Hope you will try it.

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.
