Step by step: how to draw 9 to 1 Prathi Roju Vese Muggulu

1. Mark the 9-to-1 dot grid — nine dots across the middle row, narrowing to one at the top and bottom.
2. In the centre draw a square and fill it with an eight-ray star — four pointed petals reaching the corners and straight rays between them.
3. Around the square draw a frame of diagonal lines that makes a small diamond on each of its four sides and a cell at each corner.
4. Fill each of the four side diamonds with a criss-cross lattice.
5. In the four corner cells beside the centre square draw a heart with short fan lines at its point.
6. At the top, bottom, left and right tips draw a wide crescent whose pointed ends curve back towards the centre, with fan lines at its centre and a small loop at its outer point.
7. Re-trace all the outlines in white.
