Kolam...How to draw

 

Put 14 dots - two lines in the center - leave one dot at both ends and put one line at both sides and stop at 2 as shown above.

Join dots as shown above. Erase the remaining dots and draw thick lines. Fill with desired colour powders.

 8 - 3 interlaced dots (Idukku Pulli) Kolam - Start with 8 dots in the center, next 7 interlaced dots and again 8 interlaced dots. Then - put interlaced dots at both ends and stop at 3 as shown above.

 Finish the Kolam by joining the remaining dots as above. This is the Aishwarya Kolam. Keeping this Kolam in the center, we can draw more small loops or curves or a big circle around the Kolam.
