Step by step: how to draw Beautiful Deepam Rangoli Designs 7

1. Mark the 7-to-1 dot grid — rows tapering from 7 in the middle down to a single dot at each end.
2. In the centre draw a four-pointed star with concave sides and put a dot at its heart.
3. On the top point of the star draw a lotus of five petals — a tall centre petal flanked by two inner petals and two outer petals curling outward — with a dot-tipped line up the centre petal and short strokes at every petal tip.
4. Mirror the same lotus on the bottom point so it opens downward.
5. On the left and right points draw a diya lying on its side — a round bowl with nested arcs and a curved row of dots, two rounded lobes at its rim and a pointed flame facing outward.
6. Edge each flame with a line of small dots.
7. Colour the star green with a red centre, the lotuses magenta, and the diyas orange, blue and red.
