Step by step: how to draw Sankranti Special Chukkala Muggulu

1. Mark the 8-to-8 dot grid — a square of eight rows of eight dots.
2. Put a dot in the centre and draw four small spiral curls around it, one in each quarter.
3. On each of the four diagonals draw a rounded capsule frame, linking neighbouring frames with curved lines around the centre.
4. Inside each capsule draw a lotus with layered pointed petals opening outward.
5. At each of the four corners draw three rounded petals rising from a triangular base, fill them solid and edge the base with a scalloped line of dots.
6. At the top, bottom, left and right draw a flower with a spiral centre and rounded petals set in a cup of pointed leaves, with a small curl at the tip.
