Rangoli-298

Pongal-Sankranti Special 


21- 7 times(in the center) to 7 straight dots. 

Kites, Pongali Pots, sugarcane, Gobbilu (pyramid shaped mounds made of cow dung- decorated with pumpkin flowers, placed in the center of Rangolis), red jujube berries(read more in the link below) and colourful rangolis reflect the festive spirit. Hence I have used all those elements in my Rangoli. 


Hope you like this Rangoli....watch out for more...
