Round Rangoli Pattern With Lotus Petals Coloring Page

Three rings of lotus petals radiate out from the middle of this sheet to make one large circular rangoli. The innermost element is a plain circle edged with small scallops, left entirely empty, and it is by far the biggest single area on the page. Around it the petals build up in layers. The first ring is short and rounded, the second is longer with a chevron folded inside each petal, and the outermost ring is longer again and tipped with a small dot at each point. Little clusters of round beads sit in the gaps where the rings meet. The design is properly symmetrical, which means you can pick a color scheme for one quarter and repeat it three times without thinking about it again, and that is how most people end up coloring a rangoli anyway. It is the most detailed of the rangoli sheets in this set, so it suits an older child or an adult who wants half an hour of quiet. Rangoli is drawn fresh on the floor each morning of the festival and swept away by evening. This one keeps.
