Mayil kolam eppadi poduvathu steps

Tuesday kolangal | Karthigai rangoli | Bhogi rangolis

One of the commonly used and most favourite designs are the peacock rangoli for Diwali . It is a ubiquitous design . 

We say as proud as a peacock , we are proud of a peacock rangoli we create for festivals including Dhanteras 

I  have used colour rangoli powder directly instead of drawing with white and filling with colours.  For this the quality of colour kola podi should be good . 

 I get it from Nagpur , there we get very good quality rangoli colours. If you want parrot kolam with dots for New Year 

Such beautiful and intricate kolams can be drawn for Karthigai festival or vratham because mayil is considered as vahanam of Murugan.

Dot pattern used is 9 to 1

  We can also draw for Bhogi, Mattu Pongal and Kanum Pongal when medium sized rangoli designs are displayed.  

If you are confident with the quality of colours you can draw directly with colours , it saves time.

If you looking for Sankranthi nemali muggulu

or peacock chukki rangoli designs, you may like this navilu design

this rangoli design was created by me long back,  I think in 2013 if my memory serves me right. 

You may not be surprised with the influence of free hand patterns because I started with rangoli sans dots  only.

Rangoli tip -     I have used colour rangoli powder directly instead of drawing with white and filling with colours.  For this the quality of colour kola podi should be good .  I get it from Nagpur , there we get very good quality rangoli colours.

For using colours directly ensure that they are not flour like then they will not flow properly.
