This small Pongal kolam with dots uses a 9×5 grid with a tiny pongal pot in the centre and loops all around. It is 1.5 ft wide and takes about 20 minutes.
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1
Put 9 dots in the middle row, reducing by one per row to 5 above and below.
Step 2
Draw a tiny pongal pot over the three centre dots.
Step 3
Draw loops around the remaining dots to form a six-point star around the pot.
Step 4
Fill the pot red with white rice on top, the star points yellow, and add purple dots in the corners.
Tips
- Keep the pot small so the loops have room around it.
