Karthigai Deepam kolam rangoli

This kolam is a bit tricky , hence I have added more images.  Observe the images carefully, particularly for connecting the lines on four sides of the square.  

Add neli lines ( neli literally means wriggle,  they are twisted lines usually drawn in pairs particularly for traditional rangoli ).

Add lamp designs on four sides of the kolam , place deepams .  Decorate with kavi . A simple n beautiful rangoli using lines

Rangoli tip - I use white kola podi and rice flour in the ratio 3:1 i.e 3 parts kola podi and one part rice flour.  

I sieve the kolam powder before mixing both thoroughly.
