This is a dotted kolam of count 7-6-7-4-1.. draw the mid pentagon first so that connecting the other dots is easier!

Quite nice.
Do you know the petals in this case are anti-clockwise?
It is also possible to have them clockwise. Thus
a rangoli like this has a handedness. That is a
characteristic of a plane group like this.

mOhanaji, I made this just to show a pictorial version of your explanation...
Do all rangolis/images like these belong to the plane group?

All rangolis that have rotational and / or
mirror symmetry must belong to one of the
ten and only ten plane groups. I have
examples for these in the form of rangolis.

wonderful. how come we need to prepare the colour powder,so that it is so mild and gives a gracious look? how did you colour it so evenly? when i was in chennai i used to draw rangolis and colour them but the colour might be too thick or heavy at times. how to make the colour powders smooth? please guide me.
