Step by step: how to draw Lakshmi Rangoli Designs 3×3 Dots Simple for Pooja Room with Friday Kolam and Muggulu
- Mark the 3-to-3 dot grid — three rows of three dots.
- Around the centre dot draw a diamond.
- On each side of the diamond draw a fan of concentric arcs bulging outward so the centre reads as a diamond with four rounded lobes.
- From each corner of the diamond draw a long pointed leaf outward — up, down, left and right — with a midrib and a dot at its tip.
- On each of the four diagonals, just beyond the arcs, draw a flower with a spiral centre and rounded petals, and add a pointed leaf on either side.
- Re-trace the outlines in white.
