Step by step: how to draw Muggulu New Year 2025
- Mark the 8-to-2 dot grid — eight dots across the widest row narrowing to two at the ends.
- Across the middle write the numerals 2025 in large white strokes.
- Above the numerals draw a flower with a round centre holding a spiral and three petals — one pointing up and one to each side — with short dashes in each petal.
- On either side of the top flower draw a long pointed leaf with a spiral curl inside, sweeping outward.
- Below the numerals draw the same flower and leaves mirrored, with the third petal pointing down.
- Colour the flower centres teal, the petals red and the leaves green, leaving the outlines, spirals and petal dashes white.
