Follow these 4 authentic steps to draw 15 Dots Brahmamudi Sikku Kolam on your floor or paper.

Sikku Knotwork Method

IDU PULLI (INTERLACED DOTS)

Lay the 15 Dots Matrix

Sprinkle a few drops of water on the threshold. Place the 15 Dots Matrix with even spacing using white rice flour or chalk, ensuring interlaced dots sit nested diagonally between adjacent rows.

CENTRAL LOOP (INNER CORE)

Start with the Central Core Loop

Locate the central anchor dots. Loop a fluid, continuous curve encircling the inner dots to establish the foundation of the design. Beginning at the center ensures balanced 4-fold symmetry.

CONTINUOUS WEAVE (SIKKU)

Weave Around the Outer Dots

Pinch dry rice powder between your thumb and forefinger. Guide continuous, flowing waves threading between and around the perimeter dots without lifting your fingers or stopping mid-turn.

LOOP CLOSURE & KAAVI

Connect the Final Loops & Add Kaavi

Connect the outer curves smoothly back into the starting loop so all lines merge into complete, closed loops. Frame the outer corners with traditional red Kaavi (red ochre) border for clean contrast.

Essential Sikku Technique:In Sikku Kolam, lines must never touch or pierce the dots directly. Guide continuous curved loops threading smoothly between and around the dots.
