The video above shows the full sequence; the steps below summarise each stage so you can glance back as you draw.

1. Clear a flat surface and set down your dot grid using rice flour or chalk.

3. Begin tracing from the centre outward, following the curves shown in the video above.
4. Fill the petals and sections with your chosen colours, working one area at a time.
5. Finish the edges with a fine line for a sharp, photograph-ready result.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I draw this rangoli?

It looks complex but follows a simple rhythm: dots first, then loops. Mark the grid, take a breath, and trace the curves at a steady pace. The pattern emerges on its own.

Is this suitable for beginners?

Yes, and it is one we recommend to first-timers. The small grid keeps the design manageable while still teaching the core technique.

What materials do I need?

Rice flour, coloured rangoli powders, and a clean stretch of floor or paper. Some draw with chalk first to set the grid before powdering over it.

How long does it take?

Plan for roughly 3 min 51 sec to watch and 15 minutes to draw. The second attempt is always cleaner than the first — that is the nature of dot kolam.
