I have shared the rangoli design in the descending order i.e. 1,2,3,4, 5 of the top designs in my opinion. Please comment what in your opinion is the best in this collection.
The first rangoli uses a flower pattern. Please browse the gallery.
The first colourful rangoli image - This is one of the earliest designs I shared on YouTube. It became a hit those days i.e twelve years back if we factor the lack of internet and mobile penetration.
People watched videos on desk top computer only. Almost 90 percent views were on desktop.
Nowadays it has flipped and more than 95 percent of my views are on mobile. I think the video had more than one hundred thousand views.
Similarly, the third rangoli with just white and yellow colours was also a superhit as a video and as an image.
The videos were shot by an amateur videographer (my husband) so they were not professional videos.
However, the designs maybe attracted many viewers probably for novelty, also because some were seeing this art for the first time. Also, maybe some of them who wanted to learn found them useful.

| Awesome rangoli sans dots with beautiful colours |
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.

| Color rangoli simple and beautiful |
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

| White rangoli with minimal yellow colours |
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.

| How to draw simple and awesome lamp rangoli |
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.

| Cute beauty this small rangoli |
The image above may be useful for beginners who are trying traditional method of drawing for the festival. It is a
small and cute design. Mast rangoli is a common comment on my videos on Facebook.
I received a message on Instagram from a gentleman, and he said that he is following me from his childhood. So, he should be in his twenties.
I am really happy that young men are following my social media handles on rangoli. I think they form 15 percent of my followers which is really great, and I am grateful to them.
This collection of 5 kolam for Diwali rangoli designs simple yet beautiful. The first one is a classic for the festival the highlight being the colour combination.
The second one can be stopped at an intermediate step without adding the petals between the two orange shaded areas. The third one shows how intricate patterns can beautify kolam rangoli designs easy that are already awesome in my opinion.
The fourth image is with diyas and the fifth simple kolam for Deepavali can also be converted into a lamp design.
