Step by step: how to draw Beautiful Easy Muggulu in Telugu
- Mark the 7-to-4 dot grid.
- In the centre draw a three-petal flower — one heart-shaped petal at the top and two at the lower sides.
- From the middle of the flower radiate fine stamen lines, each tipped with a dot.
- Around it place six small flowers at the points of a hexagon.
- Join neighbouring flowers with long oval petals so the six form a linked ring.
- On the outer side of each of the six flowers draw two petals that end in spiral curls.
- Place a dot just beyond each outer flower, between its two curls.
