How to Draw Onam Pookalam Designs : Latest Pookalam Designs

Here’s a breakdown of how to draw Onam Pookalam designs, keeping it simple and suitable for beginners:

Basic Steps:

  1. Choose a Design:

    • Simple Shapes: Start with basic shapes like circles, squares, triangles, or even a simple diya (lamp) shape.
    • Floral Motifs: Try incorporating flowers or leaves into your design. You can look up pictures of simple Pookalam designs for inspiration.
    • Outline: Focus on the outline of the design first before filling it in.

  2. Prepare the Surface:

    • Clean the Floor: Sweep and mop the floor where you intend to make the Pookalam.
    • Base Layer (Optional): You can sprinkle a thin layer of rice flour or sand to create a base for your design. This helps define the design and prevents the flowers from slipping.

  3. Draw the Outline:

    • Chalk or Rice Flour: Use chalk or rice flour to draw the outline of your design on the floor.
    • Freehand or Stencil: You can draw it freehand or use a stencil if you’re unsure about your drawing skills.

  4. Fill in with Flowers:

    • Gather Flowers: Collect different colored flower petals, leaves, or even colored rice or powders.
    • Fill the Design: Start filling in the outline with the flowers or colors you’ve chosen. Arrange them carefully to create a beautiful and vibrant Pookalam.

Tips for Beginners:

  • Start Small: If you’re a beginner, start with a small and simple design. You can always add complexity as you gain experience.
  • Symmetry: Focus on creating a symmetrical design, especially if you’re using geometric shapes.
  • Color Combinations: Choose colors that complement each other. Traditional Pookalams often use vibrant colors like yellow, orange, red, and green.
  • Practice: If you’re unsure about your drawing skills, practice drawing the design on paper first before creating it on the floor.
  • Teamwork: Making Pookalam is a fun activity to do with family and friends. Get everyone involved!

Extra Tips:

  • Fresh Flowers: Use fresh flowers for a more vibrant and fragrant Pookalam.
  • Start Early: Give yourself plenty of time to complete the design, especially if it’s a larger one.
  • Experiment: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different designs and colors. There’s no right or wrong way to create a Pookalam!
  • Enjoy the Process: Making a Pookalam is a beautiful tradition that brings people together. Enjoy the process and celebrate the spirit of Onam!

Onam is an annual holiday and festival celebrated in Kerala, India. It is also a harvest festival, and falls on the 22nd nakshatra Thiruvonam in the Malayalam calendar month of Chingam, which in Gregorian calendar overlaps with August–September.

Onam brings together a multitude of colours and flavours from across God’s Own Country, and the celebrations reach their apex on the auspicious day of Thiruvonam. Onam commemorates the return of a mythical, righteous king – King Mahabali and brings together communities across the landscape in unified revelry that is unheard of across the planet.
