Star rangoli designs are quite popular in this art and also for Friday . It is our tradition to draw a padi kolam for Fridays. So I have started with a basic padi kolam square pattern ( some draw it with curved lines ) . For the square I have used 4 lines and for the stars I have used two lines. Then decorated the star with straight line borders - again two of them to make a total of 4 lines for the stars also. Traditionally we use 2,4 or 5 lines ( In our family we use five lines also though some prefer even number of lines ). Coming to the rangoli , The gaps are filled with birds patterns. The centre of the padi kolam I usually fill with diagonal lines and dots . For this design I have again used a star pattern at the centre. Decorate inside or outside with kaavi border.
