Nela Muggulu
Here are some more of the Rangolis drawn specially during the month of Dhanur Maasam.
This one is a Chakra meaning wheel. The Criss Cross lines in purple colour form the basis for the design. I have used only double lines. 3 or 4 are also used. See below.
This is a Kurma meaning a tortoise. See how the 4 criss cross lines in black have been placed and then joined(orange colour) to form the figure.
Both Chakra and Kurma are associated with our mythology. It is also a fact that women drew every day things in their Rangolis.
