Happy Pongal wishes to everyone!
Today, the Pongal festival is being celebrated in our country, especially in Tamil Nadu. This is our traditional harvest festival. This festival is a celebration where farmers offer their harvest to the Sun God and other deities as a token of gratitude. During this time, everyone prepares a sweet dish called Pongal at their homes, offers it to God, and worships.

It is customary for everyone to wear new clothes, decorate their homes, and draw rangoli designs at their doorsteps. In that spirit, I drew this rangoli at my doorstep this morning. I will explain to you step by step how I drew it. I hope you will like it.

First, I clean the entrance by mixing and sprinkling cow dung paste; this is a tradition. This prevents germs from entering the house. Cow dung is an excellent disinfectant. In those days, everyone stayed healthy because they cleaned their doorsteps daily with cow dung paste. We can't do this every day, but we regularly do it during festivals like this. So, I did it this morning. After that, I took white rangoli powder and drew an outline for the design. I wanted all the elements you mentioned to be prominent in my rangoli design.

For that, I made sure that the Pongal pot, the rice boiling over, sugarcane, a peacock, a lotus flower, and the sun were all included in a single design. I drew the outline for it first. I hid behind a pot to take a background image, and I added paint to it, entirely in yellow and orange colors.

After that, I drew an outline resembling a peacock feather, and then I added colors to it using green and dark green shades.
After that, I filled in the outline, which was drawn like a peacock, with blue paint, making the entire drawing long.

After that, I drew something resembling an earthen pot containing Pongal, added brown colors to it, and then gave it a purple-colored shadow on top. Then I drew a design on it using white powder.

After that, I filled the petal-like shapes drawn around the circle with pink powder. Then, I used dark circle powder on top of it, making them resemble lotus flower petals.

After that, I drew two sugarcane stalks in the central circle area and filled the stalk portion of the sugarcane with tooth-colored powder. Similarly, I filled the leaf portion with green powders. At the same time, I added shading using dark powders.

After that, I gave an outline to all the colors in white and drew the designs in the necessary places. Then I drew the peacock's eye and beak areas and filled them with colors as well.
