Thank you. Looks simple but not very easy to draw. Should draw patiently to get the symmetry right. Lovely design. Coloured one was also beautiful.

Actually I like this explanatory work. Except in chikku kOlams, in other so-called dotted kolams, the dots are never seen. In fact, such patterns can be drawn even without dots. That is why sometime I feel, if I don't see dots, there are no dots :-) Regards! - mOhana

Yes, as Mr mOhanaji said, the chikku kolam needs dots. Other design kolams canbe drawn with out keeping dots also. But with the help of dots we can do perfect symmetrical designs. Even though I like free hand designs, I am interested in creating different designs with the same dot count and with perfect symmetry. Normally we connect the adjusent dots with straight lines or curved lines to create the designs. I create new designs by connecting two dots skipping the inbetween dots ( calling it ' Bypass' lines ). Most of my morning raagas are 9-5 or 7-4 inbetween dots only since my black granite slab is 2ft/2ft only. But get different designs by trials. I always give the dot counts of colored rangolis just for you all to find out the basic drawings. After a long time I felt happy that you all wanted to explore on this. I must thank you all. Will upload one more such kolam for you to guess the dot count. rajamma

Thanks so much for the double delight! :) Please upload the dotted one and the colored version on the same day, if possible, so I can publish it side by side. :)
