How to draw a pooja room kolam

  1. Get ready

    Measure the spot with your hand, then pick a design from this page that fits it. Wipe the floor clean and let it dry.

  2. Draw the design

    Draw a small, closed design right in front of the lamp or the deity, neat and even on all sides.

  3. Finish and enjoy

    Close every line, add colour if you like, and step back to enjoy it. Draw the same design again tomorrow and it will come out faster.

Good to know

  • Most designs here take 3 to 8 minutes. The first few are the easiest, so start there.
  • Practise on the printed dot sheet first. The hand learns the turns on paper, then the floor is easy.
