Step by step: how to draw Rangoli Designs For Sankranti With 13 To 7 Dots

1. Mark a hexagonal grid of interlaced dots.
2. In the centre draw a six-petal flower with rounded petals around a small ring and dot.
3. Around the flower draw a ring of six roses — each a tight spiral wrapped in a cupped, layered outline.
4. Link neighbouring roses with curved lines that run out to the edge of the hexagon.
5. Along each of the six sides of the hexagon draw two long pointed leaves, and mark each corner with a short stalk.
6. Fill the roses pink, orange and red — opposite roses matching — colour the centre flower's petals red, pink and orange with opposite petals matching around a yellow ring and blue dot, and fill all twelve leaves green.
7. Re-trace the outlines and spirals in white.
