This blog is about muggulu (in telugu) or kolam (in tamil) or rangoli designs. In this blog, you can find chukkala muggulu, tippudu or melikala muggulu and some free hand designs. I hope this blog will be helpful for the ones who are interested in muggulu. You can find different types of borders also that will be kept outer side of the muggu.

tippudu muggu
For this muggu I have chosen the melikala(tippudu) border with step wise pattern and this I have drawn on Vinayaka Chaviti day. There is no resemblance to draw this muggu on this day, just I have started with melikala border and finished in this final muggu. First kept 9 dots in 2 lines (9x9) and completed the melikala border for these dots.
Next kept 7 dots in 2 lines (7x7) and completed the melikala border for these dots. Next kept 5 dots in 2 lines (5x5) and completed the melikala border for these dots. Next kept 3 dots in 2 lines (3x3) and completed the melikala border for these dots. So using casual border pattern I have made this tippudu muggu. For this one,
border also I have chosen the same melikala border.
Added colours in the gaps(will be there after drawing complete border) instead of adding one small dot in each border row.

design on gadapa
Here I have posted design or muggu or painting on gadapa at the main door entrance.In some areas of telugu gadapa will be called as kadapa also. Everyday morning muggu will be kept on gadapa which will be at the main door entrance with rice flour or some times rice flour mixed with pasupu(turmeric) after putting turmeric first, to welcome goddess Lakshmi. On this gadapa painting also will be done with different types of designs.
Here I have chosen design/muggu on the gadapa with lines and flower pattern as I wanted to have simple design on the gadapa so that it can look neat and simple. To make this, first I have drawn lines with dark orange color(by mixing red and yellow colours) painting. Next I have prepared one template for flower pattern a paper and marked the flower pattern on the gadapa using pencil. Next I have filled the flowers with pink color as I wanted to have pink which resembled lotus flower color. On the ground, just I have drawn simple wave pattern lines with green and red color dots.
tippudu muggu
Dots required for this muggu are 9x3,7x2, 5x3x1. Start with putting 9 dots in 3 lines, next put 7 dots in 2 lines by leaving one-one dot at each side above 9 dots lines, next put 5,3,1 dots in one-one line above 7 dots. Next draw the melikala muggu as shown in the post here. Here this muggu is drawn in a Asymmetry form, like only muggu is kept top of the above 9 dots and didn't repeat the same at down. But the same muggu can be drawn with 7x2,5x3x1 dots by putting the dots down after 9 dots line. I didn't draw a border explicitly, just I have covered the muggu with lines with steps type pattern and added some colours.

tippudu muggu
For this muggu, I have chosen without melikala muggu in inside and melikala muggu at outside. First I drawn one muggu in a diamond pattern with count of 6 together. Next I have drawn small tippudu or melikala muggulu with 5 to 1 dots on the 6 sharp corners of that inside muggu,. Here I have drawn 6 different types of tippudu muggulu. Can be tried with same pattern muggu or with different number of dots if you love tippudu muggulu. Inside I have drawn lines with colours .

tippudu muggu
This muggu is kept on the occasion of Krishnasthami.
This muggu is in the form of Ooyala(Jhula).
Dots required for this muggu are 17 for one top horizontal line. Next 2 dots in 10 lines (for legs pattern) for 2 sides (left and right side). Next put 4 dots in 2 lines for base type at both sides (left and right which is in pink and green color below in this post). Next in middle put 9 dots in 3 lines horizontally. Next 8 dots in one line vertical line at 2 sides. Next draw the melikala muggu by passing through the dots.
tippudu muggu
Dots required for this muggu : 9x1
Put 9 dots to 1 dot in niluvu chukkalu format like leaving one-one dot at each side in each line. Next draw the melikala or tippudu muggu by passing through the dots. Here in this muggu 2 types of melikala muggu pattern is taken. Like one format is followed for up and down and one forma is followed for left and right side. A closed border is drawn, like there is no gap left in the border so that complete muggu formed a diamond shape once it is finished.
chinna muggu
Dots required for this muggu : 7x4 (in between)
First put 7 dots in one line and place the dots in between (in some Telugu places will be said as madhya chukkalu) from next line on wards like 6 in next 2nd line, 5 in 3rd line and 4 in 4th line.
Start joining the 2nd and 3rd dots from 4th line to other lines in a mountain and valley pattern as shown in post here. Next I have drawn free hand pattern with the remaining dots. I didn't draw a border for this explicitly. Can be drawn if want to have border.

tippudu muggu
Dots required for this muggu : 11x1
First put 11 dots and next leave one-one dot from next line on wards and put till 1 dot.
Draw the tippudu muggu by passing through the dots as shown in this post here. In the middle I have drawn a Swastika pattern. But where as for those dots also melikala muggu can be drawn in the middle. To cover this muggu, instead of border at 4 sides, I have chosen diamond shape pattern and draw the lines at 4 sides in diamond form. On the outside of that line at 4 sides, I have drawn a crown pattern free hand design and added multi colors in that. On the top of this muggu, I have drawn a border on Jaju.

Dots required for this muggu : 8x2x2
Put 8 dots in 2 lines and leave one-one dot from next line on wards and put till 2 dots in the last line. Draw the tippudu muggu by passing through the dots as shown in the post here. In this tippudu muggu, after drawing the lines it formed a sort of Trishulam pattern at 4 sides. I have enclosed this muggu with step wise border and drawn the border in a symmetry pattern. Finally added colors in the border lines.
chinna muggu
Dots required for this muggu : 3x3
Put 3 dots in 3 lines. Next join each dot in 4 sides using dots which are at outside. Middle I have added a small circle form. I have drawn some freehand design at outside. This muggu can be drawn like freehand design without dots also. I have added colors to make this small muggu looks good.
