The dots are 11 to 1 in between dots. I have used colour markers and sketch pens for this rangoli colour. You can use your own choice of colour powder when you put this rangoli.
This photo of the kolam was taken at the AnnualDay Function of THE STATE BANK LADIES CLUB, KOYEMBEDU, CHENNAI in this year 2008. I participated in the Rangoli Competition, and got the first prize for the same. First it was drawn on the floor by a piece of chalk. Then it was filled with colour rangoli powder, mixed with pure-white rangoli powder. With the help of a single match-stick designs were drawn on the spread-out coloured rangoli powder. Then decorated with some glittering powders, and small pieces of mirror like metal pieces. I felt so happy in getting the prize in front of all the members of the club / all my friends.
I'm proud to mention the name of the Judge. Mrs.Revati Shanmugam, daughter of Thiru. Kaviarasu Kannadasan.
This kolam has no dots, can be put with rice wet kolam maavu or with colour powder.
This rangoli was reated by Bharathi, Lakshmi and Pinky (Bharathi's co-sister). Here is the dots sequence:
25x5
23
17-9
7x3

22 dots horizontally, 10 times vertically. This is a themed kolam.
This is done on a plate using matchstick and plastic flowers, easy to move where you want to, also used as arthi plates for weddings.
First leave all the flowers in different plates...select a design with the available colours of the flowers and then draw the design on the floor using chalk...apply a paste on the floor so that the flowers stay in its place, in spite of any breeze on the top floors....apply the paste on a particular part and immediately scatter the flowers on the sticky part and proceed similarly!
This is free hand rangoli. In this I've drawn lotus and flowers etc...
This is one more flower rangoli. I used Crossandra flowers and leaves in this rangoli.
