Step by step: how to draw 5 to 5 Chukkala Muggulu Easy
- Mark the 5-to-5 dot grid — five rows of five dots.
- On each of the four sides of the centre dot draw a half-circle bowl curving toward the centre with three pointed petals rising outward from its rim — four lotus bowls in all.
- In the centre draw a four-lobed flower crossed by a double-lined plus sign.
- Inside each bowl draw nested arcs edged with a row of dots.
- On each diagonal between the bowls draw a spiral curl and a small leaf pointing toward the centre.
- Link the side petals of neighbouring bowls with sweeping curves and petal loops so the four bowls close into a square frame.
- Edge each of the four outermost petals with a row of dots.
