10 to 2 dots kolam 10 to 2 dots rangoli

10 pulli kolam for Tamil New Year 
Decorate with a kaavi border for festivals and Fridays.  The box like pattern using dots is the traditional design.  The outer free hand designs have been added by me.  

The dot pattern is 10 dots 2 rows ,  then 8 to 2 dots.  This post may also answer the following - chukki rangoli for competition with dots,  Pulli vacha kolam for Pongal.
