Bhogi Muggulu
Bhogi opens the mid-January harvest festival in both Tamil and Telugu homes — and Bhogi muggulu centre on the kunda, the decorated pot.
This collection brings together 51 Bhogi muggulu videos — most of them kundala designs — each a complete drawing to follow from start to finish.
Out with the old
Bhogi begins before dawn with bhogi mantalu — bonfires of old and discarded things, cleared out before the sun turns north. The day belongs to fresh starts: houses cleaned, thresholds readied, and the first of the festival’s great muggulu drawn.
The kundalu — Bhogi’s own design
Most designs in this collection draw the kunda — the pot, usually a row or ring of decorated pots on a dot grid. It is the motif of the day, led here by Sankranthi Special Bhogi Kundala Muggulu (over 2.4 million views). The Kunda Muggulu collection (43 designs) gathers more of them.
The evening of the children
Bhogi closes with the children: in the evening, families traditionally shower the young with bhogi pallu — regi (jujube) berries, often mixed with petals and coins — a blessing for the year ahead.
One day, two festivals
Bhogi is the one day both traditions share by name. In Tamil homes it opens Pongal; in Telugu homes, Sankranthi. From here the festivals take their own paths — the Kolam for Pongal guide (109 designs) and the Muggulu for Sankranthi guide (92 designs) follow each.
What you’ll find in this collection
There are 51 designs here, each a step-by-step video. Pot muggulu dominate, roughly a fifth of the titles name their dot counts, and the same dot-grid method underlies them all.
