Bhogi kolam designs with dots

 Try this big kolam for an important festival like Bhogi.  The dot pattern is 16 dots - 8 rows and then 8 dots 4 rows. An old fashioned kolam but very beautiful.  Using only likes we can get a beautiful rangoli as shown in the picture below.

The next kolam is a beautiful design .  The dot pattern is 15 to 8.  If we add colours or with just colourful shading , the result will be awesome as seen the photo below

We can also try this kolam 12 dots - 2 rows, vertical and horizontal.  Then two extra dots ( 8 pairs )

Or this butterfly kolam with 9 to 1 dots

Let me add an old kolam to this collection. The dot pattern is 2 rows and 2 columns of 2 pairs of 10 dots as shown !! Confusing :) :)  Please see the pic.

Bhogi pulli kolam , beautiful traditional rangoli

                                              Old type muggulu are beautiful in their own way.

The patterns look like pliers don't they !! 

Many posts in this blog are with one or more intermediate steps ( maximum two , I guess ) to make easy for learning.  However there are many who know many kolam designs with steps but cannot decide what to draw for Bhogi ( previous day before Makar Sankranthi ) . To make it easy for them , I have shared some photos. 

 Also for benefit of those who want to learn,  I have added steps for the last kolam.
