17 to 9 dots rangoli 17-9 pulli kolangal

Diwali kolam designs with dots | 17 dots muggulu
This kolam gives a beautiful 3D effect.  If we fill colours at the appropriate places it will give a more beautiful three dimensional effect.  I have added the lotus patterns to make the design more beautiful.
