Easy rangoli designs - beginners

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 with two inverted triangles.   ...

White rangoli designs for Diwali decor

First a white rangoli design for competition. 

Instead of the easiest, I start with a difficult type - double stroke rangoli in which the 2 lines are drawn simultaneously. 

 It is not easy to master. Once we are comfortable with this technique, we will love to draw lots of designs. 

This collection of 5 best and easy rangoli designs for Diwali decoration ideas for home.  Try them, colour them and place diyas all around. 

Happy Diwali greetings in advance :)

 "Each time I see a new design it makes me wonder how you must have managed to create such a beautiful work art " - recent feedback on social media.

  It is quite simple, invariably every day I spend my spare time creating or trying to create different and new designs. 

I have used many notebooks for this purpose.  I still have all of them.

  Occasionally, I go through the old notebooks and pick one of them that has not been shared so far along with the latest rangoli designs that I have created.

 It is easy to colour because we have to add only lines the gaps between the parallel lines.  Next white rangoli kolam designs through few pics

The next kolam in the pic above is a 9-to-5 dot design.  Again, I have shared only white rangolis so that ideas are shown for Diwali festival decoration. 

 Colours can be chosen according to availability and our wish.  Bright colours are preferred for Deepavali.  Remember to fill the background also.

The next two are free hand rangolis (white colour muggulu ) from my collection.  Of course, I have shared the colourful one elsewhere on Rangoli sans dots.

Deepavali festival is one of the most anticipated festivals for kids.  It has everything - sweets, new clothes, holidays, visiting relatives, crackers.  It invariably comes in October - November.  It is the rainy season in Tamil Nadu. 

 So as children we were anxious and looked at the sky many a time.  Even a few clouds would dampen our spirit because rains can affect the celebration a great deal.  After wearing new clothes (two sets we had - one for the previous evening and the better one for Deepavali day) we went out to burst crackers with our friends and relatives. 

We were reminded by the elders in the family to give "respect" to the old clothes.  Simple customs with deep meaning.  The breakfast on Deepavali day was and still is idly and chutney.  Anyways there was a lot of bakshanam to eat after breakfast.  We went to the Ganesha temple nearby either in the morning or in the evening. 

Later we went to our relatives' places in the evening or the next day.  It was fun.  It still is watching the next generations enjoying with the same spirit
