Pattern 1 - Simple, Easy Dotted Colored Traditional Rangoli

4*4 simple and dotted colored rangoli - Pattern1

Lets begin with a simple 4*4 dots rangoli with only straight lines.

4*4 simple rangoli

** Lines are not so straight and fine. Try to make them better.

Step 1: put 4*4 dots equidistantly to form a square of 16 dots

Step 2 and 3: Draw slanting and straight lines by connecting dots as shown.

Step 4 and 5: Draw horizontal lines to complete the middle design pattern.

Step 6 and 7: Draw slanting lines to form a Swastik type pattern. Draw small circles on the 4 extreme dots.

** If not possible to get the shape, put white rangoli on the dot and press it with finer to form a circle (with cleft in between)

Alternatively, draw flame pattern with the extreme dots as shown in the first image.

Step 8 and 9: connect the circles with straight lines and fill your favorite colors.

**I have added variation here as drawing a flame type pattern may-not be possible initially. The above design is simple with no curves.

Keep a Diya in the middle square area to enhance and complete the look.

Your first simple easy dotted colored traditional rangoli is ready to be flaunted.
