Rangoli-148

Nela Muggulu

Some more of the special Sankranti Rangolis:

This is the Astadala Padmam or 8 petalled lotus- a simple version.
This is also another version of 8 petalled Lotus, used on auspicious occasions like Pooja. You can see the tiny feet of Goddess Lakshmi. 

This is also drawn during the Dhanurmaasam. This Rangoli is drawn free hand or with the help of lines and not dots. I have used only two lines. But this is drawn with 4 lines, which makes it more beautiful. This has many variations. I have posted only one. I will try to update with other variations.


Rangoli-147

Here is one Rangoli which is bigger in size.


This is 23 dots to 12 dots, placed like this:


     *   *   *
  *   *   *   *
*   *   *   *   *
  *   *   *   *
    *   *   *
Join as shown above. 

If you space out the dots, you can create a bigger Rangoli. That is the trick with which one can make even a small Rangoli look big. The only thing is the spacing of dots should be even and symmetrical.

You can colour the back ground with a contrast colour. I have just coloured the edges light yellow. But you can fill up the entire back ground. Only thing is it will take lots of time.

Rangoli-146

Nela Muggulu


Here are some more of the Pathways Rangoli or Daarula Muggu drawn on Sankranti festival:

These two are again single blocks, can be drawn as it is, but usually are only a part of huge design with more of such blocks of different designs. 

I will try to post a bigger design of intricate path ways which drawn on the festival day.
