Step by step: how to draw Multiple Colours New Bhogi Kundalu Rangoli

1. Mark the 7-to-1 dot grid.
2. At the bottom draw a lotus — a central bud petal with dotted stamen lines and side petals around it — with a curling leaf spread to each side and a small leaf holding a spiral beneath.
3. On the lotus draw a round pot and band it with a row of five spirals at the shoulder, a criss-cross diamond band in the middle and chevrons at the base.
4. Give the pot a rim with slanted stripes and top it with a scalloped cloud of overflowing pongal.
5. Under the pot draw a sweeping drape that ends in a spiral curl on each side, with a row of dots along its underside.
6. Behind the pot draw a curved coconut palm on the left with a banded trunk, and an ear of grain on the right.
7. Set a small lit diya above each spiral curl and draw a rayed sun in the top-right corner.
8. Fill with colours — red lotus, green leaves, purple drape and multicolour bands on the pot.
