Rangoli designs in this collection, were drawn on a kitchen slab! All are spontaneous creations. Later I started recording them in a notebook for reference not for drawing but for sharing on social media. Here is a gallery of simple and small muggulu images. 1)  Beautiful Sankranthi muggu lu design 2) Small Sankranthi rangoli  Rangoli colours _ I get them from Nagpur where my sister lives.  She gets them from Koradi near Nagpur (there is a Goddess Lakshmi temple in Koradi ,  I came to know from her).  Though I have visited Nagpur many times, I have never had the opportunity to have a darshan there.   As the saying goes - to have darshan of God (or Goddess) we need Her/His blessings.  The rangoli colours are sold in several shops there.  There is a huge collection of colours.  The texture is just right that we can draw lines using them.   3) Sankranthi rangoli without dots  Compare the muggulu above and below.  The sec...

  Drawing the Pongal panai images for festival decoration This theme is ubiquitous during Pongal festival.   The Pongal pot, sugarcane and sun represent the day after Bhogi i.e Pongal or Makara Sankranthi.   The Sun travels to Uttarayana which heralds the advent of the spring season. Sugarcane is harvested during this season.  Sweet Pongal is prepared in a new pot decorated with designs.   Four or even five rangoli designs may adorn the entrance of the house. There is also a tradition of wearing new clothes.  This festival is similar to Diwali in the joy, celebrations involved except crackers.
