Step by step: how to draw Ugadi Rangula Muggulu With 15×1

1. Mark the 15-to-1 dot grid.
2. Around the centre dot draw four birds in a pinwheel, each with a round eye, a curved beak and a fanned tail, facing the next one round.
3. Beside each bird's beak draw a teardrop leaf curling toward the centre.
4. At the top, bottom, left and right, just outside the birds, draw a flower of four heart-shaped petals.
5. Behind each flower draw a pair of large veined leaves opening outward in a V, with a small triangle pointing inward at the outer tip.
6. On the four diagonal corners, just outside the birds, add a small heart.
7. Colour the birds orange, navy, pink and red, the leaves green, the teardrops yellow, the flowers blue and violet, and the triangles red.
