Lotus chukki rangoli new design kamala

Step by step images for the chukki rangoli for competition - Kamala rangoli design with 15 by 15 chukki -Step by step images for a kamala kolam. 

This design is inspired by Maharastrian rangoli designs with dots.  They usually use a square dot grid. 
 The dot grid is 15 by 15 .

For this kolam , it is preferable to add colourful lines instead of filling up the entire design with colours .
 On social media like YouTube,  few viewers request me to post vlogs ( vlogs are videos showing a day in our lives at our homes ).  I am not comfortable with it .

I think my personal life should not be made public.  Since only my hand drawing rangoli is visible in most of the videos , occasionally I appear before the camera .  I also post some photos of me taken on various occasions .

 Start from the centre as shown in the first picture. Actually when we start a rangoli the dots will show up and ask to be connected.  

After drawing the 4 lotus patterns on four sides using straight lines draw a petal at the base ( similar to how we open a kamala for decorating Goddess Lakshmi picture ) to make it appear more natural. 

 The remaining dots are completed with lotus buds and other patterns.
