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...

Sankranthi rangoli without dots simple

 The first kolam is floral design with with pink and blue flowers decorated with a white and green border.  

This floral motif is regularly used in rangolis.   If you observe closely, the design formed is flowers inside a flower.  A very different free hand kolam.

The second rangoli - I have drawn only 6 flowers around the 8-petal flower at the centre. because drawing eight flowers radially,

one for each petal may make the design congested and cramped or may result very small flowers on the periphery. 

I am only thinking aloud, hope you understood. No place for veins of the leaves :)

The third rangoli one more design with just petals, using different colours because it is for the muggulu season i.e Dhanrumasa

The fourth rangoli - we draw and colour as in the image or we can fill colours in the background, if we have more time at our disposal -

on a weekday during Dhanur masam we can draw without colours probably on Saturday or Sunday we can fill with colours.  

Actually, I had a different colouring method in mind (not colouring scheme) but settled for this.

5) Small circular rangoli sans dots

The fifth kolam is a symmetrical design.  All designs can be expanded further, as is the case of any without chukkala muggulu.

 I only give ideas so that you can develop from there.  Also, I share these free hand designs created by me with a view to attract more people towards this art.

  Hence, they are for personal use only and should not be used for any commercial purpose.  Hope you will understand.
