Top 10 Sankranthi muggulu

Rangoli designs in this collection, were drawn on a kitchen slab! All are spontaneous creations. Later I started recording them in a notebook for reference not for drawing but for sharing on social media. Here is a gallery of simple and small muggulu images. 1)  Beautiful Sankranthi muggulu design

2) Small Sankranthi rangoli 

Rangoli colours _ I get them from Nagpur where my sister lives.  She gets them from Koradi near Nagpur (there is a Goddess Lakshmi temple in Koradi ,  I came to know from her).  Though I have visited Nagpur many times, I have never had the opportunity to have a darshan there. 

 As the saying goes - to have darshan of God (or Goddess) we need Her/His blessings.  The rangoli colours are sold in several shops there.  There is a huge collection of colours.  The texture is just right that we can draw lines using them.  

3) Sankranthi rangoli without dots 

Compare the muggulu above and below.  The second one - after drawing the outer pattern I filled with the brownish colour and filled it with patterns as shown. 

 The second one is drawn on the slab without any colourful background.  If you observe, more the patterns (small and intricate) we draw the more beautiful the muggu turns out to be. 

4) Awesome rangoli for festival

5) Sankranthi colour muggulu , small 

Now the kolam above is really a beauty.  Isn't she.  She how colours , spirals and small lines make the design awesome.  You don't have to draw big muggu to attract attention.  Small is beautiful too. 

6) Simple rangoli for festival

What is a simple design turns into a unique one due to use of pink colour and border.  The rest is only leaves and floral patterns.  

7) Free hand leaves rangoli

Occasional use of leaves (nature is an easy theme to be followed in free hand rangoli drawing.  The photo above shows an example.  The muggu below is part of a bigger one I have shared elsewhere.

8) Muggulu without chukkalu

When we draw lots of petals as I have in the rangoli below it is preferable to use thin lines.  Around the floral petals drawn radially, patterns can be drawn according to our imagination however keeping in mind that they should be congruous with the central design.

9)  Circle rangoli design, new 

Another free hand rangoli in the image below, one of the thousands I have shared in this blog.  After all I have to do justice to the name Rangolisansdots

10) Unique rangoli kolam

Quite a few viewers watching my muggulu videos were confused as to why I use the name Rangolisans dots which literally means Rangoli without dots. 

I started sharing only muggulu without dots then ventured into dot designs because there were several requests for that type too (obviously).

Ten years back a follower on YouTube asked, "How many more designs do you have in your mind" 

My reply was "By God's grace I can create at least one rangoli every day". Ten years later it is only God's grace that I am continuing my task of sharing different and new designs.
