Step by step: how to draw Daily Muggulu Simple Rangoli
- Mark the dot grid in the middle of the space.
- On each of the four sides draw a flower of four heart-shaped petals around a small circle, with two short strokes in each petal.
- In the centre draw a circle and inside it a four-petal flower of pointed petals, each with a line down its middle.
- Inside the circle add a spiral curl on each diagonal between the petals.
- On each diagonal just outside the circle draw a fan of three rounded petals with a short stroke tipped with a dot in the middle petal.
- Enclose the design in a scalloped outline of four big arcs, each curving around one side flower.
- Where neighbouring arcs meet on the diagonals add a cluster of three small oval leaves.
