Nela Muggulu
In the series of Nela muggulu or the Rangolis drawn especially during the month preceding Sankranti(Pongal) festival in Andhra Pradesh, her is one more. These Rangolis are drawn free hand. The base or starting point for these Rangolis are lines.They can be 2, 3, usually 4 lines.
The orange lines in the center are drawn first. This is Swastika an auspicious symbol representing Lord Ganesh. The rest of the lines were drawn around it. Well this small motif of swastika can be drawn into a very big Rangoli by adding design on all sides.
Some times, these Rangolis of lines drawn in the center are surrounded by chain Rangolis or other dot Rangolis depending upon the skill and creativity of the person drawing it.
