In Andhra Pradesh it is known as Muggulu, they are drawn by using thick batter of soaked rice flour or rangoli powder on the floor smeared with red-clay paste. These are drawn on all festivals and important religious rituals. The special feature of these designs is the rangoli motifs (Geometric or figures from nature or festivities) are drawn in an interlaced dot grid, that is, the rows of dots in the grid alternate each other in position.
Muggulu rangoli’s have different names or types based on the drawing method : 1. Chukkla muggu – Drawn connecting dot to dot, in an interlaced dot grid, forming a hexagonal or rhombus shaped design. 2. Melikala muggu - The one drawn around dots (i.e. Puddi Kolams). 3.Geetalamuggu - The ones drawn using a line grid (i.e. Padi Kolam).
This Soulart Muggulu is a Chukkla muggu drawn in an interlaced dot grid, the design is created by drawing lines from one dot to another. It is composed of geometric and non- gemetric motifs, an elaborately decorative star occupying the central portion of the Rangoli with non-geometeric motifs of Diyas (fire lamps) and floral buds on the outside.
