7 dot rangoli: diya, conch and lotus on a seven-by-seven grid

7 dot rangoli for rangoli makers moving up to a seven-dot grid for a festival doorstep. The three designs are a diya with a tall flame, a conch shell whose spiral loops round the centre dots, and an eight-petal lotus with a zigzag border. Each is drawn in bold black line, in fine double lines with small curls, and in white chalk on a black slate. A different design can be typed in as a request.

Frequently asked questions

How is a 7 dot rangoli different from a 5 dot?

It is drawn on seven rows of seven dots, which leaves more room for detail and longer lines.

Which line style suits a festival?

Fine line has the most detail. Bold line is the quickest to copy.

Can I ask for a swan?

Yes. Type the subject you want. A new subject is a request, not a promised result.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
