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.

Ganesha Chukki rangoli small n easy

How to draw Ganpati rangoli with dots - just 4 dots! A small  easy rangoli. 

 Using a 4 by 1 dot grid we can create cute Ganesha rangoli, chukki type. 

 It is preferable to draw it in the Puja room and not at the entrance.  We can draw with colour powder too.

Such small designs can be drawn without dots also for this important festival but most of us are more comfortable with chukki rangolis.

 So, I have shared these two ideas.  Hope you like them.

Happy Ganesha Chaturthi celebrations.

I have shown an intermediate step so that it will be easy to follow.   I have made some simple decorations. 

You can try different patterns and colours too. Kolam primarily has two genres.  One is auspicious rangolis used for Pooja room, festivals.  Examples are Aishwarya kolam, Hridaya kamalam.

Ganapati rangoli designs that are drawn for religious festivals like Diwali and Ganesh Chavithi can be included in the first genre. 

The second type is the kolam used for decoration. They include our collection of freehand rangoli, sikku kolam, chukki rangoli and padi kolam.

While padi kolam is drawn on Fridays and for functions, all other types can be drawn daily.  However, I do not draw sikku kolam on Friday at the entrance, for Tulsi plant.  I also do not use it for functions and festivals.
