Step by step: how to draw Sankranthi Kundala Muggulu
- Mark the 7-to-7 dot grid — seven rows of seven dots in a square.
- From the centre run four sugarcane stalks — up, down, left and right — each a segmented bar of three boxes with a dot in every box.
- Crown the outer end of each stalk with a fan of pointed sugarcane leaves.
- In each of the four quadrants between the stalks draw an oval pot lying on its side, its mouth pointing to the corner.
- Draw a flower with rounded petals on the body of the upper-left, upper-right and lower-right pots.
- Add a scalloped rim at the mouth of the upper-left, upper-right and lower-right pots, and heap overflowing pongal beyond the upper-left and lower-right rims as a billowing cloud shape.
