Pongal is a time for celebration, joy . When ever we have festivals and festivities we bring out our joy and happiness through various ways. Art is one of them. On Pongal day we have colourful kolam adorning the streets. Actually the gallery of kolam in a street appear as if there is a colourful carpet in the entire street.
Free hand, kolam with dots most of them big are drawn. Pongal is in Tamil Nadu what Sankranti is in Telugu. My mother called it Peddha Pandaga or big festival. She used to draw a big kolam with 21 to 25 dot grid. So it is natural that Rangolisansdots has some relatively big kolam with dots for Pongal or Sankranti
The kolam below is again a common kolam with dots. Using sangu designs in the kolam we get a beautiful kolam. The dot pattern used is 15 to 8. The images in black and white show the steps
The next kolam muggulu is also with 15 to 8 dots ( idukku pulli ) again a common kolam. After placing the dot grid draw the floral pattern at the centre and on the six sides. After drawing the floral petals draw the lamp like shapes - three numbers as if they are meeting at a point. Add a few colours to get a beautiful muggu with dots for Sankranti - it is quite easy too.
