Chinna Sikku kolangal eppadi poduvathu

Sikku kolam is like football when a defender twists his legs, falls when tricked by a forward. I don't know whether it is a correct analogy ,

sometimes I'm reminded of this whenever I am caught midway in the kolam !!

First a small and beautiful sikku kolam rangoli . Like many chikku kolam this design also can be drawn with bigger dots 7,9,11 etc. I have tried with 7,9,11 dots. We have to focus like Arjuna for 9 and 11 dots.

The dot pattern is 5 dots 3 rows then 4,3,2,1 dots

Two easy simple chikku kolam for beginners

This design uses 5 by 5 dots

This design can be drawn with 7 dots, 9 dots, 11 dots etc. Manoeuvring around the dots using curved lines comes with practice and the more we practice nearer to perfection we get. That is the secret of these type of kolams. Some of us may get intimidated looking at the final design but when we get it right we get a lot of mental satisfaction. Can be drawn as part of our daily kolangal.

The next kolam uses 6 dots 4 rows then 4 dots on all sides. A simple design too
