Muggulu, kolam and rangoli

Telugu homes draw muggulu at the doorstep every morning, and big ones during Sankranti. In Tamil Nadu the same art is the kolam, and across India rangoli. The dotted designs here are chukkala muggulu (dot muggulu): the line loops around each dot without ever touching it.

Six styles:

  • Sikku (melikala) muggu: one unbroken line woven around the dots.
  • Chukkala muggu: dots joined with straight lines into stars, hexagons and rhombuses.
  • Padi (geetha) kolam: double lines stepping out from a central square, with a red kaavi border.
  • Idukku pulli: every other row of dots is shifted, with mango leaves (maavilai) and small flowers.
  • Flower muggu: freehand petals in rings, no dots needed.
  • Festival muggulu: the Sankranti ratham (chariot) with its rope, a deepam, an overflowing Pongal pot with sugarcane, and the sun.
  • Size: 5 to 9 dots for a doorstep, 11 to 15 dots for a big Sankranti muggu.
  • Colours: the rangoli looks fill the petals; use them as a guide for coloured powder.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about the kolam designs tool.

How are the designs made?

Each design follows the rule behind traditional sikku muggulu: one line goes around every dot, crossing between them and turning at the edges. Every tap of New design gives a fresh pattern that is always symmetric.

How do I draw it on the floor?

Put the dots first, in the same rows as the picture. Tap Show how to draw to watch the line being drawn, then follow it around the dots. The PDF has a practice page with only the dots.

Can I print it?

Yes. A4 PDF to print gives the design and a practice page of dots. Or save it as a photo and share it on WhatsApp.

Is it free?

Yes. Free, no sign-up, no watermark on the design.
