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...

Without chukki rangoli for Sankranti

For those who have read most posts of my kolam blog , you would observe some changes.  Rangolisansdots has become a huge collection of different types of rangoli designs. 

 So, I am trying to categorise them into various types to make the blog more user friendly.  The idea is that one should find what he/she is looking for. 

 I am trying to revamp the blog by putting myself in the mind of the user. 

I do not know how many designs there are, but when I applied for copyrights for the blog, I found that the copies ran into several hundred pages.  

The designs are free for those who use them for their personal use. I was reluctant to apply for copyrights. 

I was really not happy when I discovered that many YouTube channels and websites started using my designs.

 So this long and strenuous exercise, I had to do - applying to the Registrar of Copyrights.  It was then I discovered that I had shared thousands of designs for the benefit of all drawing kolam at the homes. 

9 simple and small rangoli designs  for the festival also called Pedda  Panduga by my mother. The clockwise and anticlockwise portrayal of the two patterns gives a unique effect. 

 Inspired by the common wheel.   1) Circle rangoli design small (not exactly circular though)

The next rangoli is also a simple rangoli.  Colours should be of the right texture to get an excellent effect. Very thick lines with colours that also smudge should be avoided. 

 For this the selection of right rangoli colours is important.

2) Free hand rangoli design simple and easy

The rangoli above is made by using very bright colours.  That is rare for me to do.  However, there may be some who prefer very bright colours.  So, this blue, green, yellow and pink combination.  The rangoli above is small without chukki rangoli and the image is self-explanatory. 

4) Next, a rangoli small size

Lamps may be popular patterns for Deepavali.  We can use for Sankranthi too.  Refer the pic above for a simple deepam design.  The next rangoli below is really awesome, I think. 

 Please do not think I am praising myself :) I am just viewing as a third person.  See how simple patterns can make an easy rangoli look beautiful.

  The next rangoli image below this is also nice.  Congruity in selection of patterns for each layer of a free hand rangoli is important to draw such designs.  Hope you agree

This is a collection of photos of rangoli designs from my library on the computer. All these images were of designs that I practised on the kitchen platform which incidentally was made of black granite.  I drew one kolam daily while working in the kitchen, in the place available on one side of the counter.
