White muggulu designs for Sankranti

 "The old traditional way of making rangolis ... no wasting of rangoli, no fancy designs just simple and sweet "

"Very nice.  Nowadays, people hardly draw freehand rangoli.  It is unique and much more natural looking "

These are two comments from my Facebook Page Rangoli sans dots.  

When I started sharing old type of muggu on social media I was hesitant because I was not sure whether they would be liked

After more than a decade on social media, I am glad that I started sharing what I know and passionate about.  

I have shared the colourful versions in another post in this blog.  Please give your feedback on the blog and this post in the comments section

All the designs above have also been filled with colours.  Since this post is only on telupu muggulu ,  I have shared the colourful ones elsewhere. 

Colourful designs are usually displayed for festivals like New Year, Deepavali and Sankranthi. Filling matching colours has to be done meticulously hence demands a lot of time.  So, we prefer to reserve this for festivals. 

 An important rangoli tip - when we fill colours on the white pattern, inadvertently colours get spilt on the white design.  So, it is a good practice to once again draw the entire pattern with white pindi after completing filling of colours.  Obviously, we need time and patience and hence it is better to fill colours for festivals, functions and draw the plain designs for our daily muggulu .

These ideas through the pics can be part of our white rangoli for Janmashtami festival too. The first four involve intricate patterns while the fifth one is relatively simple.  Such intricate designs can be drawn for Sri Krishna Jayanthi decoration at home.
