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.

Whether a beginner or an amateur with experience, we all look for simple tips and tricks to create rangoli designs. However, we are particular that the result should be beautiful too.

  This easy rangoli idea I have shared in this post should be useful to all of us.  These kolam can also be drawn for Navarathri golu (display of dolls).  

While choosing the colours check whether they flow freely (they should not be floury) else use white rangoli and fill with colours.

In some images I have used different colours to make it clear.  We can draw with white or colour rangoli powder. A simple trick to create beautiful rangoli patterns.

Dots or very short lines can be placed around the diya to make it look more natural.  Yellow, orange and red colours are preferred for the deepam

The dot grid for the triangular shaped lamp rangoli  is 2 rows of 9, 1 row of 7 dots, 1 row of 5 dots and 1 row of 3 dots.  Fol;ow the same method as in the previous chukki rangoli by making elliptical patterns with two different colours.

Simple rangoli tip - t is not a good idea to mix rice flour with rangoli colours (in my childhood I have seen some follow this method) to get the required texture.  You may get the texture, but the original colour will fade.

I always purchase rangoli colours after testing the texture and flow.  I do not add anything later.  Whenever I go out of station and that is usually a pilgrimage with my husband, I look for rangoli colours near the temples.  I check the quality, colour, texture and flow.

 We got some good quality colours near Ulagalandha Perumal temple, Tirukoyilur.  If you plan to go to Tirukoyilur you can have darshan at Raghothama Swami Brindavan also.  If you want to perform seva rooms are available.  More information and contact numbers can be obtained from a Google search.
