Step by step: how to draw Daily Rangoli Kolam With 5×5 Dots

1. Mark the 5-to-5 dot grid — five rows of five dots in a square.
2. In the centre draw four almond petals meeting at the middle along the diagonals, with a dot in each petal.
3. From the outer tip of each centre petal draw a lotus opening outward — a central petal with a dot, spiral-curled side petals and pointed outer petals with notched tips.
4. Link the lotuses with curved lines that close into a round frame around the centre.
5. On the top, bottom, left and right of the frame draw a small circle with a spiral inside and a short line pointing outward.
6. Fill the spaces between the lotuses and the centre petals with small spiral curls.
