This line kolam can be easily put. It does not take much time.No need of putting dots. Only thing is you need a smooth surface without slop. If you prepare the Maavu and keep it in the FRIDGE, anytime you can put it.In the night when all go to sleep, you can clean the place where you want to put this kolam without any disturbance in a few minutes.Ne need to worry about anybody stumping on it. The wet kolam will dry and when you wake up in the morning and open the door, your kolam will be smiling brightly. This will stay for 2 or 3 days, will not get spoiled by wind.
Preparation and how to use the maave to put the design is given in detail by our friend Jaya Mohan, in her comment in my earlier kolam ( you can refer my Gallery).

This Rangoli drawn for Vaikunta ekadasi. It falls on 7th of Jan, 09, created by Bharathi and self.
The significance of Vaikunta Ekadasi can be traced back to the Padma Purana. The Purana indicates that Lord Vishnu took the form of ‘Ekadasi’ – female energy – to kill demon Muran. This happened during the month of Margazhi. Impressed by ‘Ekadasi,’ Lord Vishnu told her that whoever worships him on this day will reach ‘Vaikunta’ (heaven).
Like all Ekadasi days, devotees fast on this day and observe vigil the whole night. Some people indulge in meditation, Japa and singing of Hari Kirtan. Rice is avoided during ekadashi days as it is believed that the demon Mura finds a dwelling in the rice eaten on Ekadasi day.
The ‘Vaikunta Dwaram’ or ‘the gate to the heaven’ is opened on this day. This is the passage encircling the innermost sanctum of the Lord. Here we go members of IKOLAM who belive can reach this Rangoli Vaikunta Dwaram(gate) & pray god FOR PEACE IN THE WORLD !!!!!!!!!.

When we start for golu the kalasa is important. I decorate the kalasa as goddess. It was saraswathi alangaram for the last three days of golu.

This is a simple 1 3 5 3 1 type of rangoli.
Where the E's meet, the illusion of a circle
like a halo persists to give a peaceful feeling,
at least that is what I belive.
I am not separately submitting the DEMON=>ANGEl.
It is quite clear. But this type of figure is
called an ambigram. In some cases, it is easy
and in this case it is hard and am not still
satisfied. Generally, I play like this for
wedding gifts with the bride's name in one way
and the groom's name in the other way. I am told
this type of ambigram is in DaVinci Code.
