Easy rangoli designs - beginners

Though I have drawn all the designs myself personally I am thankful to my family for the inputs, information and help in drafting all the posts so far.  I have used the terms kolam  rangoli quite freely in all the posts. Probably there would have been differences based on classical (!) explanations in the past but today kolams can also be colourful like rangolis both in the free hand and dots type  I find that even the terms rangoli kolam and kolam rangoli are used at  present. The only area where I think kolam are different are in sikku kolam and arisi maavu kolam. Both are beautiful, challenging and can be intricate . Rangoli is muggulu in Telugu and so this post will be useful for those in search of small and simple muggulu for beginners.  This post   may have answers  kutty rangoli /kolam designs The rangoli in the image below is one of the basic designs that can be used for learning.   Form a star with two inverted triangles.   ...

30 days 30 kolam 2 set 10 images

Two rangoli kolam I created in the pics above and below when I have some time to spare  in the pics above and below  and that is usually in the afternoons   

1. Idea for simple kolam for daily use - first pic . Afternoons are reserved for creating kolam or for stringing flowers.    

Two more sets of easy rangoli pics and easy kolam pictures are available for your reference.  With these 30 different kolam for a month are ready 

This big collection of thirty kolam images should be useful for all for drawing kolam daily at the entrance.  One of the most pleasant experiences for me - drawing rangoli early in the morning . 

Usually I have my cup of hot coffee ( without chicory ! ) only after drawing the daily rangoli.

Digressing from the topic and continuing our discussion on my morning coffee that I mentioned earlier, I have my early morning cup only after completed the rangoli at the entrance. 

My husband usually doesn't wait for me.  He has to have his cup first thing in the morning.  He says he won't miss the pleasure of a hot cup of coffee at dawn.  In his opinion it is bliss.  In a few minutes I will join him after the rangoli making ritual, he would have finished half a cup :) 

I should preach what I practice and practice what I preach, so vasal kolam is the first thing in the morning for me.  Coffee comes next :)
