Step by step: how to draw Ghummam Kolam Designs with Flower Rangoli 6×2 Dots Simple Muggulu Patterns

1. Mark the 6-to-2 dot grid.
2. Above, below and to each side of the centre draw a spiral, and fan short straight rays around its outer side.
3. Wrap each spiral in a three-lobed petal outline that opens toward the centre, giving four flowers in a cross.
4. In the centre place a dot, and between it and each of the four flowers draw three short parallel lines.
5. On the diagonals around the centre link neighbouring flowers with pointed leaves, each holding a dot.
6. In the two upper gaps between the flowers draw a small flower of rounded petals around a dot.
