9 pulli kambi kolam pinnal kolangal

This kolam uses 9 to 1 dots ner pulli.  We get a beautiful pattern at the centre with simple designs on either side.  As usual the steps shown through pictures. 

Invariably I add the position of the hand to show in which direction the kolam is progressing.

When I share these designs on social media some say it is" rocket science , I can never do it ".  My request would be to practise.  Practice makes a (wo)man perfect.

Of course ,we humans with all our failings can aim at near perfection , we may not be perfectly perfect !

For those of you who are seeing this type of rangoli designs for the first time the rules are - the lines go around the dots , lines can intersect only once

Next kambigal kolam is with 9 to 1 dots ner pulli.  As most of these designs need steps  I have shared a few for those who may need them.

The number of lines used should be minimum or shall I say optimum to get a more beautiful kolam.

Kolam the traditional type demands concentration , hence we can say it is similar to meditation

The next kolam uses 9 by 9 dots.  Using colours makes it easy to follow the steps

Drawing sikku kolam directly with rangoli colours can be done if the quality of the colour kola podi is good.  I get them from Koradi near Nagpur.  The quality is excellent to say the least.

I do not draw this type for Friday rangoli at entrance or for festivals like Varalakshmi Pooja

For special occasions like festivals we can decorate with free hand designs as shown.

This kolam uses a 9 by 5 dot grid.  Quite tricky and challenging too.  However a common kolam

Margazhi kolangal  or Dhanurmasam muggulu  are drawn for 30 days , sikku kolam are invariably drawn.

The dot pattern is 9 to 1.  Some times it is better to learn this designs dividing the final design into individual elements.  It is possible in most kambi kolangal .  To follow easily images with elements drawn with different colours will help us identify the steps also.

Also called gantina rangoli  ( Kannada ) , melikala muggulu ( Telugu ) these are among the best rangoli designs in the world in my opinion.

You get everything when you draw them - beauty, symmetry , satisfaction and pride when you complete it successfully.
