How to put dots in rangoli

The images below show the difference in the size of the dots depending upon the quantity of kola podi we use. If we take minimum quantity of kola maavu, dots look like this If we take more rangoli powder dots are thick and some times look like small lines.  When we join them with lines , they are not covered entirely by the lines The gap between 2 dots should be uniform to the extent possible  When we place a dot grid , for example  for 7 to 4 dot grid, place the 7 dots first and then the remaining dots above and below for better symmetry. Also if your question is how to keep pulli or how to keep chukkala , please read this post.

How to make thin lines in rangoli

 How do we get thin lines in rangoli.  It is a simple trick. For drawing thin lines we have have to take minimum kolam powder.  This way we can draw thin lines.  The more kola podi you take the thicker the lines will become. Also lines should be drawn in a single stretch without joints.  If there are joints we try to hide them with kolam maavu and the lines will become thicker.  Thin lines in kolam are called ezhai .  An ezhai is a single strand in a thread.  Two images as examples If you observe the pictures , the curved lines are also drawn without joints.  This technique of drawing straight and curved lines continuously without any joints is the hallmark of a beautiful kolam.  The more we practise the better we get at this techque.
