18 Diyas Kolam Design — Step by Step Guide

These steps are written for absolute beginners. Watch once, draw once, then watch again — that is how the pattern locks in.

1. Mark the 15-to-8 dot grid: a diamond pulli grid with a middle row of 15 dots tapering to 8 dots on the sloped sides.
2. At the centre draw a pinwheel of five or six diyas, each a pointed teardrop/leaf shape with a small spiral curl at its base, rotating around the middle.
3. Around the pinwheel draw a first ring of the same diya motifs, tips pointing outward and the base curls nesting between neighbours.
4. Add a second, outer ring of diyas so the lamps fill the whole diamond (about eighteen diyas in all).
5. Keep each diya as a two-line pointed leaf closed at the tip, with the curl looping neatly at the bottom to echo its neighbours.
6. Retrace every diya in even white to finish the lamp kolam.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I draw this rangoli?

The grid comes first. Use a soft chalk to dot the surface, count twice to confirm the spacing, then start connecting them following the video. Work from the centre outward.

Is this suitable for beginners?

It is one of the more forgiving designs in our collection. Beginners often pick it as a confidence-builder before moving on to larger grids.

What materials do I need?

Powder (white for outlines, colours for filling), a flat surface, and a dot stencil if you want absolute precision. Beyond that, just your hand and a steady pace.

How long does it take?

About 4 min 36 sec on screen, perhaps 15 minutes for a relaxed first attempt. By the second try most people are noticeably quicker.
