Step by step: how to draw Flower Kolam Simple 3×2 Middle Dots Rangoli Designs for Sankranti Muggulu

1. Mark the 3-to-2 dot grid — a row of 3 dots between two rows of 2.
2. Draw two overlapping triangles through the dots to make a six-pointed star, and put a dot in its centre and one at each of its six points.
3. In each of the six notches between the star points draw a spiral, and enclose the spirals in a scalloped band that makes a heart-shaped lobe at the top and bottom and a pointed lobe at the left and right.
4. At the top and bottom of the band draw a lotus bud with three pointed petals and a dot at its base, and on each of the four diagonals draw the same three-petal lotus with a dot at its base and a curled leaf at each side.
5. At the left and right points of the band draw a fan flower — a half-circle of small rounded petals.
6. Re-trace the outlines in white.
