Adding colours to a rangoli gives an awesome effect.
The picture below shows the step after drawing the central pattern. I have started showing the steps from the second duck so that we can have the first of the ducks as reference

Step 2

The trick is connecting the dots to form the head and neck in a single stroke in this otherwise simple rangoli. This enhances the beauty of the kolam

Another image and another view

One more view for reference . I am of the view that more the number of pics showing the steps the easier it is learn and follow

Instead of filling the entire pattern we can shade as shown also to save time

Probably this can be considered as a ubiquitous rangoli during the festival Pedda Panduga or Sankranti. It is preferred that though it s a 15 to 8 dots rangoli it can be drawn quite easily.
Happy Pongal 2019 to those who follow my blog !
