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...

Gadapa muggulu designs for houses

A collection of simple muggulu designs on gadapa or side designs for your reference. What I have shared is what I learnt from my mother.  She insisted on drawing wriggled lines on both sides of the straight lines on the doorstep 

If you are searching for a) gadapa muggulu latest designs or b) main door gadapa muggulu designs
You may find these images useful.

We have a tradition of performing Pooja to the doorstep or doorway with flowers, haldi and kumkum  It is believed that Goddess Lakshmi resides there.

Any Pooja requires drawing of rangoli designs.  We need suitable rangoli for the space available due to the narrow width.

Some draw with chalk or use stickers but I draw the traditional way with white muggu pindi .  This is my preferred method.

A viewer on YouTube asked for the borders I draw at the doorways.  The result is this collection of images.  I drew all of them at the edge of the slab so that they appear as if they are drawn on doorways.

Having started I had to complete it, it was a little difficult drawing at the edges of the slab i.e to stop exactly at the edge.  I think I managed it reasonably and the results are there to see in the pictures above. 

Apart from our daily muggulu these patterns may be used for Diwali simple rangoli border designs for home too on the top and the bottom of the main design.  It is preferable to draw directly with colours provided the quality of the powder is good. 

White color border rangoli designs is also what people want - is white a colour or is it because white is a combination of seven colours as in the rainbow (VIBGYOR - violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red) it is also considered as a colour.  I am not sure. 

For example, I frequently use tying and stringing for flowers.  An English language teacher corrected me and said - only" stringing" is to be used.  I did not reply.  Frankly, I have to give information based on how people search and many searches are colloquial in nature.  Search engines have realised it and do not restrict themselves to grammatically or logically correct searches.
