Very Simple Diya Kolam — Step by Step Guide
These steps are written for absolute beginners. Watch once, draw once, then watch again — that is how the pattern locks in.
- Mark a 12 to 12 dot grid — twelve rows of twelve evenly spaced dots — and think of it as sixteen 3 x 3 blocks, four across and four down.
- In one block draw a square with softly rounded corners taking up rather less than half the block, and inside it a pointed leaf: a lens made of two arcs meeting in sharp tips, with a single arc ruled down its middle, set on the diagonal with its tip at the square's inner corner.
- From that same corner run a long slim ribbon out across the block — two straight parallel lines about a finger-width apart — travelling on the diagonal, then bending at a right angle and closing with a short cap.
- Repeat that square-leaf-and-ribbon unit in all sixteen blocks, mirroring it left to right about the middle of the field and top to bottom as well, so the whole pattern is symmetric about both centre lines and the leaf-squares face inward.
- Where the four central blocks meet, let the inner ends of their four ribbons hook around one another: each turns a right angle in the same rotational direction, locking into a small square pinwheel at the exact centre.
- Drop a small standalone pointed leaf — the same lens shape, with no square around it — into each empty diamond-shaped gap left between neighbouring units.
- Finish the outer corners of the field with a small tight spiral curl tucked against the end of the last ribbon.

Just three things: powder (white plus any colours you want), a flat dry surface, and a few minutes of focus. A small bowl per colour helps keep things tidy.
How long does it take?
Roughly 4 min 4 sec to watch end-to-end, and 10–20 minutes to draw yourself depending on grid size and how careful you are with the curves.
