15 dots kolam new designs Bhogi

This blog post may have answers to 1) How to draw rangoli with dots 2) How to draw muggulu with dots. One of the bigger rangoli created by me. Dot pattern is 15 to 1. Number of dots decreases viz. (15,13,9,7,5,3,1) Though it is with 15 dots it is relatively easy to draw. The patterns below the neck (that represent the wings! are drawn first on the four sides. The beauty of this kolam lies in the symmetry of the patterns. One of the advantages or creating rangoli designs is that the result may be a unique rangoli. Actually, I thought of drawing butterflies and flowers but changed the theme to birds and flowers. Floral patterns are congruous with pakshi or titli (occasionally I use other languages too to describe the patterns to make it easy for those who are familiar with the terms in their mother tongue).

`13-7 chukki rangoli

This post may answer the queries - how to draw rangoli step by step, how to draw rangoli with dots. These are interlaced dots i.e the current row of dots is placed between the previous rows. Mark this post for New Year rangoli or Deepavali rangoli designs. Some information about the first rangoli. It must be attractive to see but it may be difficult to master for some of us. What is otherwise a very simple chukki rangoli design for Sankranti one may face problems in ensuring that all the pumpkin ( poosanikkai in Tamil) patterns drawn around the central star design just touch each other. All of them should just touch each other. In some or all of them we may face the problem of leaving a gap or overlapping/intersecting (like a Venn diagram). The main criterion to avoid them is to have dot grid placed perfectly with equal gaps among the dots. Draw the floral (sometimes called pumpkin patterns in Tamil) starting from o...

Simple New year rangoli kolam designs

The kolam below can be considered to be a floral design with many layers of petals of various shapes. Again, add colourful lines parallel to the white design to get this simple but beautiful rangoli. A white version of this rangoli has been uploaded elsewhere. Comparing both will give us an idea how colours can influence the attractiveness of a rangoli design.

Beautiful rose rangoli Diwali decoration

How to draw a rose kolam with dots ( 15 to 8 chukki rangoli ) - Rose kolam with a 15 to 8 dot pattern is one of the most common rangoli that is drawn quite frequently for special occasions or for festivals like - Diwali kolam designs with dots or Dhanteras rangoli with dots. Start at the centre. The image above shows how to proceed. You will observe from the images that I do not draw the pattern with a piece of chalk before drawing with rangoli powder. This is the preferable method of practising such complicated patterns. An intermediate step for the rose flower muggulu with dots. Rangoli tip - When we draw such big designs and sprinkle colours it is possible that they will spill on the rangoli. While we should do carefully, do not worry if it happens. After filling the colours once again draw the entire design with white rangoli . This will take care of the spilt colours and also enhance the beauty of the main de...

Yanai kolam enugu muggulu for Sankranthi

This is a huge elephant kolam (excuse the pun !!) with 21 by 1 dots. One of the favourites for Sankranthi muggulu or Pongal kolam. It is not very time consuming since the patterns repeat.

Elephants need not be grey; they can be filled with any bright colour. If you are looking for chukki rangoli big size, big pulli kolam designs with steps or big ...

Puthandu kolam New Year rangoli designs

Happy New Year kolam , Welcome New Year rangoli designs are ubiquitous on New Year eve. Many homes are adorned with colourful kolangal with one of these messages on the kolam itself. Some may prefer to draw a big pulli kolam and write the message on the top or bottom of the kolam. I have shared some ideas for them. I invariably draw a rangoli sans dots (not surprising!) and write the message outside the rangoli. This is a different type of kolam that we can try to make others look in awe. The dot pattern is 7 dots at the centre, 8,9,10,3,2,1 on either side. "My mom used to make similar rangolis early in the morning at 5.30 before starting her daily work and then heading to the office.

I am happy that I contribute in a positive...
