Easy rangoli designs - beginners

30+ rangoli kolam simple designs  Though I have drawn all the designs myself personally I am thankful to my family for the inputs, information and help in drafting all the posts so far.  I have used the terms kolam  rangoli quite freely in all the posts. Probably there would have been differences based on classical (!) explanations in the past but today kolams can also be colourful like rangolis both in the free hand and dots type  I find that even the terms rangoli kolam and kolam rangoli are used at  present. The only area where I think kolam are different are in sikku kolam and arisi maavu kolam. Both are beautiful, challenging and can be intricate. Rangoli is muggulu in Telugu and so this post will be useful for those in search of small and simple muggulu for beginners.  This post   may have answers  kutty rangoli /kolam designs The rangoli in the image below is one of the basic designs that can be used for learning.   Form a star w...

15 dots kolam new designs Bhogi

This blog post may have answers to 1) How to draw rangoli with dots 2) How to draw muggulu with dots. 

One of the bigger rangoli created by me. Dot pattern is 15 to 1 . Number of dots decreases viz. ( 15,13,9,7,5,3,1)

Though it is with 15 dots it is relatively easy to draw.  

The patterns below the neck (that represent the wings! are drawn first on the four sides.  

The beauty of this kolam lies in the symmetry of the patterns.  

One of the advantages or creating rangoli designs is that the result may be a unique rangoli.  

Actually, I thought of drawing butterflies and flowers but changed the theme to birds and flowers. 

 Floral patterns are congruous with pakshi or titli (occasionally I use other languages too to describe the patterns to make it easy for those who are familiar with the terms in their mother tongue).

This is a design that I created long back. As the name suggests - Rangolisansdots means rangoli without dots.  There were arguments by readers and viewers on social media as to why I share dot rangoli though name has "sans". 

This is because I started sharing and creating pulli kolam based on the feedback from the earliest followers of the blog and YouTube channel.  They requested for chukki rangoli designs.  Some are comfortable with this variety of kolam. 

 Once the name of the website is given it is very difficult to change without affecting the popularity attained thus far.

So, the name remains but all categories of rangoli designs are shared.  Still some viewers were not convinced and demanded that I change the name to something else.

 I think the unique selling proposition of the name is that it has become a point of debate and so many may remember it.

I think all these images should make easy for knowing chukki rangoli hakuva vidhana for this design.
