Pulli Kolam are designs which have more science in it relatively than normal kolam or rangoli designs. Pulli kolam is a beautiful art form of South India which is said that it came into existence about 5,000 years ago. It is a prosperous design made on the entrance and the courtyard to welcome prosperity and it is believed to get rid of evil spirits. It was made by the women of South India every single day in the earlier times by waking up really early in the mornings. But now they are made occasionally. Occasion such as onam, Pongal, weddings and other important occasions. A kolam is symmetrical design using geometric patterns and dots with the use of rice flour but now to avoid the wastage, they use chalk power and coloured powders.
A Pulli Kolam follows different rules than Kolam designs. Pulli Kolam design involves the use of line looped around or curved around a collection of dots (pulli). Dots or better known as pulli are the main part of the Pulli Kolam designs and every design particularly revolves around dots. There are 3 main rules to follow while making Pulli Muggulu Designs<\/font><\/strong><\/a> which are as follows: all dots should be perfectly encircled, orbits of all lines should be closed & two lines cannot overlap one another if they don\u2019t create closed loop.
Pulli Kolams are very detailed with fine work of art. It is complared to a brain exercise as the patterns aren\u2019t different but one needs to remember them completely. Here are 10 beautiful Pulli Kolam designs to decorate the wedding venue with these beautiful designs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.Classic Pulli in diamonds<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The classic Pulli Kolam designs are made with diamond shapes and the best part about this designs is that it\u2019s made of one closed loop. Petal formation are followed in most of the Pulli Kolam design with the use of course dots in it. Start with the base of the design just like a creative rangoli design is, by creating inner square shape using long curvy loops and then finishing with the outer square which is moulded into a diamond shape using the same petal designs. This is very classic and is made up of a single loop design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.Start with basic circle design<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Pulli designs using circle are the perfect example of contemporary designs . Start by making dots or pulli with equal spacing making them so that they form a circle then draw curving lines or line loop to cover the pulli then repeat the same steps for outer circular loop as well , connect the two circles with the use of any petal or diamond shaped formation from the four sides and make sure the petal shape or diamond shape has pulli in them too. It will take sometime to do it with precision. Keep practising and maintain the thickness of lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.4 parallel lines designs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all created four parallel designs in our sketchbooks likewise we create a pattern using four parallel lines constantly making them as curling each other or twisting them making two petals of flower but around dots . All the designs using four parallel lines should be done around the dots or pulli , heavy design and intricate work add extra beauty to the design and makes it apt for weddings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.Edgy Pulli Kolam<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever thought about a pointy edge design of pulli kolam? Make the usual Pulli Kolam designs by using any natural shapes or geometric patterns with precision but add pointy edges to the outermost layer of the Pulli designs for some new addition to the age-old art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.Easy geometric design<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Kolam designs are usually made up of using geometric shapes and dots so why not use the same geometric shape to make Pulli Kolams too , start with easy geometric shape which ever you like. Use only one shape if you\u2019re a beginner, use a single shape and overlap the shape with different sizing of the same shape ; add pulli in the middle of the closed loops where ever you see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.Maze pattern<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Twisted maze , every single one of you knows maze so let\u2019s make art with it. A twisted maze pattern looks beautiful but is a complex design to make. Start with making four lines in different directions starting from the centre using the same curvy loop design the bend the rightwards with the same curvy loops continue doing the rightward bend making it bigger and better and stop when you\u2019re satisfied. It has many details and needs an eye which can catch details properly and it is time consuming so have patience while doing the Maze Pulli Kolam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.Mix of geometric designs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re good with Kolam designs and know about the use of geometric shapes and patterns in them , lets use them in Pulli kolam too . So now you\u2019re done with using one geometric shape now it\u2019s time for mix of multiple geometric patterns. It\u2019s easier to draw geometric designs as symmetry can be seen more easily than in curved lines also curved lines are hard to master. Geometric Pulli Kolam are best pulli kolams as they are new & trendy yet simple to make<\/p>\n\n\n\n
