Paisley Rangoli In Blue
A small rangoli with blue as the theme colour. I had started with a pinwheel design at the centre then extended with paisleys. To till date I am clueless how I had arrived to this final design.

Now I feel I should have taken care of the symmetry too. Need to attempt again with some other colours. Four shades of Blue colour are into this kolam plus two tints. After drawing I felt the colouring had a look of a stained glass pattern. Hope it looks so.
Sketch the Central Focal Contour
Clean and dampen the floor. With light chalk or a thin stream of white rice flour, sketch the primary central motif (such as a blooming lotus, royal peacock, or sacred oil lamp).
Sweep Concentric Petals Outward
Radiate curving petals, mango paisleys, or flowing floral flourishes outwards from the center, maintaining uniform distance across all quadrants.
Blend Vibrant Natural Powders
Fill the petals and interior sections with rich festive colored powders or dyed rice grains, blending smoothly from deep shades at the base to bright tones at the tips.
Define Crisp Edges & Corner Lamps
Outline all boundaries with a bold, steady line of pure white rice flour to give the colors radiant contrast. Place brass or earthen oil lamps at the perimeter points.
