4 Diya Kolam — Step by Step Guide

Follow the steps below to recreate this design at home. Pause the video whenever you need — there is no hurry.

1. Start with a square dot grid, 7 rows of 7 evenly spaced dots, set in the middle of your working area.
2. Around the dots draw a large plus shape as the body: a square middle with a straight-sided arm of the same width pushing out at the top, bottom, left and right. Each arm's two long sides are ruled straight, and the four inner corners of the plus stay sharp.
3. Fill the whole plus with a net of diagonal lines running both ways at 45 degrees, so the inside becomes a lattice of small diamonds. Finish the open end of each arm as a run of diamond points, peak-valley-peak, rather than a flat edge.
4. On the centre line of each arm, sitting on a lattice crossing, draw a tall almond – a pointed oval – with its long axis pointing outward along the arm. There are four of these, one per arm.
5. From the tip of each almond sweep a line out to the left and another out to the right, and roll each one into a tight flat spiral, so every almond is flanked by a matching pair of curls.
6. Fill each of the four notches between the arms with a big rounded shoulder: from a point set out on the diagonal, sweep one wide arc back to the end of one arm's straight side and a second wide arc back to the end of the neighbouring arm's straight side.
7. At the outer point of each shoulder draw a small square standing on that point, and put a pointed leaf inside it: a midrib down the middle, short strokes hatching one half of the leaf, and a fan of straight rays spreading from the leaf's base into the far corner of the square.
8. Tuck a small arc into each of the four inner corners of the plus, following the line of the corner, and set a row of about six short teardrop dots along its outer side like little rays.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I draw this rangoli?

It looks complex but follows a simple rhythm: dots first, then loops. Mark the grid, take a breath, and trace the curves at a steady pace. The pattern emerges on its own.

Is this suitable for beginners?

Yes — this design is shaped specifically with newcomers in mind. The dot grid is small enough to manage, and the curves are gentle. Most learners get it right by the second try.

What materials do I need?

White rice flour for the outline, coloured powders for the fill, and a clean dry floor. That is the essentials list — you can add a stencil if you prefer.

How long does it take?

You will see a 2 min 47 sec walkthrough above. Drawing it yourself is usually a 12–18 minute affair, slightly slower the first time.
