Step by step: how to draw Beautiful Dhanurmasam Muggulu 11×6

1. Mark the 11-to-6 dot grid.
2. In the centre draw six straight spokes from the middle dot.
3. Between the spokes draw six curved, pointed leaves — each a pair of nested curves with a tufted tip — so the centre swirls like a pinwheel.
4. On the six sides of the grid — top, bottom and the four diagonals — draw a double chevron of two nested V lines pointing towards the centre.
5. Beyond each chevron draw a fan-shaped flower — a dome dotted inside, ringed with rounded petals opening outward.
6. Fill the flower petals white.
