Step by step: how to draw Latest Diya Kolam With 5×5 Dots

  1. Mark the 5-to-5 dot grid — a centre dot with further dots set out on the diagonals around it.
  2. Above the centre dot draw a half-round diya bowl with its rounded base towards the centre.
  3. Repeat the bowl below and to the left and right of the centre so four diyas face outward around the centre dot.
  4. Close the top of each bowl with a rim of two leaf-shaped lobes that meet in the middle.
  5. From the dip of each rim draw a pointed almond flame pointing away from the centre.
  6. Inside each bowl draw a small spiral near the rounded base.
