How to draw a rose kolam with dots ( 15 to 8 chukki rangoli ) - Rose kolam with a 15 to 8 dot pattern is one of the most common rangoli that is drawn quite frequently for special occasions or for festivals like - Diwali kolam designs with dots or Dhanteras rangoli with dots.
Start at the centre. The image above shows how to proceed. You will observe from the images that I do not draw the pattern with a piece of chalk before drawing with rangoli powder.
This is the preferable method of practising such complicated patterns. An intermediate step for the rose flower muggulu with dots.
Rangoli tip - When we draw such big designs and sprinkle colours it is possible that they will spill on the rangoli.
While we should do carefully, do not worry if it happens. After filling the colours once again draw the entire design with
white rangoli .
This will take care of the spilt colours and also enhance the beauty of the main design. Of course, what we need is patience.

The rose motifs in the periphery are mandatory. The remaining dots at the centre can be used to create any matching pattern of our choice. While most of the times we do an already available pattern, if time permits, we may think for a while and try something unique and creative. Just like poetic licence we have artist's licence too, I feel.

Kolam tip - for entrances of flats or apartments, where the entrances face each other space available may be less. It is preferable to use a closely packed dot grid for big kolam.
I have shared both the plain white pattern and the one filled with colours. It is not necessary that we have to use the same colours that I have shown in the demo picture.

In one of the first few posts, I acknowledged that we can only imitate Nature, we cannot attain the perfection achieved by Her in colour, symmetry. I have attached an image of the beautiful and fragrant paneer roses purchased from the local vendor. What a beauty! The flower vendor has many varieties of flowers displayed for sale. The bees hover over these roses only. Looks like even they are attracted only to the most beautiful of the flowers or is it due to the quality of nectar.
