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 . 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. 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 .
