Step by step: how to draw Puvvula Muggulu for Sankranthi

1. Mark the 7-to-4 dot grid — rows growing from 4 at the top to 7 in the middle and back to 4 at the bottom.
2. In the centre draw a dot and ring it with six pointed petals to make a star flower.
3. Round the flower draw a hexagon of six curved petal arcs and set a spiral curl inside each arc, between two petals.
4. At each of the six corners draw a rose bud — a spiral tucked inside a cup of two pointed leaves.
5. From each bud grow a short stem with two small leaves and a spiral tendril at the tip.
6. On the six sides between the buds leave two of the grid dots in a row and cap each row with a dash at its outer end.
