Rangolisansdots - a name chosen by me that literally means Rangoli without dots. No collection of rangoli or kolam can be complete without rangoli with dots. So there are as many dot rangoli designs as there are without dots.
Welcome ! I am Sudha Balaji, from Omalur near Salem, Tamil Nadu. After completing my education in Sri Sarada College for Women in Salem I moved to Chennai. .
Rangoli or kolam as it is called in Tamil Nadu is drawn by thousands of women, daily. Like many women of India I learnt this art from my mother.
Freehand rangoli is an art by itself. I share my little knowledge in the art of drawing rangoli with you. Almost all freehand rangoli in Rangoli-sans-dots are drawn spontaneously. They are drawn with a mixture of rangoli ( powder ) -(commercially available stone powder ) and rice flour so will be naturalistic.

Though I started with freehand rangoli, I have also ventured into rangoli with dots and arisi maavu kolams in the kolam / rangoli category, later, into arts and crafts in general. Aarti plate decoration is important for festivals like Navaratri. Some ideas are in Navaratri aarti plates. Some simple plate art ideas for gifts, wedding or festivals are in Plate art ideas
I share my even littler knowledge in cooking vegetarian dishes particularly for festivals
Diya or lamps designs are quite widely used in rangoli and are also called deepam kolam in Tamil. Lamp designs are quite popular during festivals like Diwali and Karthigai Deepam ( in Tamil Nadu ). Lamps are have religious and spiritual significance and are also considered to be auspicious. Naturally these patterns are congruous with rangoli designs and hence used. There are quite a few rangoli designs with lamps as theme in Rangoli-sans-dots. Some of the diya based rangoli without dots are in Diwali diva rangoli

I have a YouTube channel almost exclusively for rangoli . It is called Rangolisansdots too. It is quite popular in its niche. A few videos have been declared as "Official " videos of YouTube for some time. The most important video among them is Aishwarya kolam.
