These type of padi kolam use curved lines instead of straight lines , the result a beautiful pattern emerges.
It is a tradition to draw at least two lines either simultaneously or separately
The next step in the rangoli , it expands outwards through curved lines
One more set of lines to make it a pair
The centre can be decorated with a lotus design
Again the rangoli expands outwards as shown in the next few photos
The position of the hand can be watched in the next two images to draw the pattern. Though there are many ways to draw a pattern I have tried to follow a simple method to make it easy for those who want to learn. For those who have knowledge of these patterns , they can be drawn with fewer steps
Spirals and dots decorate the outermost gaps . As is the norm , these designs depend upon our imagination
These beautiful padi kolam can be drawn on Fridays and for Navratri
