Kolam by Sudha Balaji

  First chukki rangoli is with 5 dots. In case we are trying first time for Diwali rangoli  and are looking for a simple design  a small version (abridged version as my children say) This kolam can be drawn independently or as the central design around which we can add free hand designs to get a bigger design the dot grid is 5,3,1 . An easy white rangoli design for the ensuing festival season. The second rangoli  is with 7 by 4 chukki rangoli The third design is 9 by 5 chukki rangoli.  Add colours to the white kolam to make it even more beautiful.  In my opinion white rangoli are beautiful in their own way.
