Making a rangoli with leaf designs is easy and simple. Even beginners can try this without any help. 
 

If you’re a complete beginner, it is recommended to create a design with a chalk first. 
 

For a Shivling design, start with a circle, filling it with colours, and then adding designs on the border. 
 

You can enhance the Shivling design by writing ‘Mahadev’ in the centre. 
 

Rangoli can be made more attractive by defining it with other elements related to Maha Shivratri. In this design, you can see a pot, a trident, and a snake. 
 

If you wish to keep your rangoli minimalistic, then just making a Shivling with the word ‘Shiva’ would be the best option for you.
