Step by step: how to draw Ugadi Rangoli Beautiful Ugadi Muggulu
- Mark the 10-to-2 dot grid — rows tapering from 10 across the middle to 2 at the top and bottom.
- Write UGADI in plain capital letters across the middle row and again down the centre column, sharing the letter A where the two words cross.
- In each of the four quadrants between the arms of the letters draw a mango-and-leaf sprig — a curved teardrop mango with a small curl at its stalk and pointed leaves fanning from a short stem.
- Give each leaf a centre vein, and on one leaf in every sprig add short slanted side veins like a neem leaf.
- Set the mango at the top of the two upper sprigs, pointing up and out, and at the bottom of the two lower sprigs, hanging below the leaves.
- Re-trace the letters and sprigs in white.
