If you make a small rangoli, you can scratch it in the dirt first, then put in your lines. If it’s small and simple, you may be able to do this easily. Women made large rangoli for special occasions, and these take more planning to get them symmetrical and perfect. Lotus patterns are not difficult to lay out, and can cover a very large area.
You can create a large lotus rangoli with a string, and two sticks. Pound one stick into the ground at the center of the lotus. Tie a string on the stick, and tie that to another stick. Mark concentric circles on the ground with a second stake. Keep the string tight as you make the circles. Mark a diameter, a straight line through the center of the circle.
Bisect the diameter. Hold one stake at where a circle intersects the diameter. Stretch the string tight and strike an arc on the ground with the other stick. Do the same thing on the other side with exactly the same length of string.

Do the same things on the other side of the diameter, then draw a line from where one pair of arcs intersect and where the other pair of arcs intersect. This line should go straight through the center of the circles and be at a 90' angle to the diameter.
Divide the circles into 8ths.
Divide the 8ths into 16ths. When all these lines are scratched on the ground, you can start making the lotus.

Scratch the lotus petal lines into the ground first with a stick. Start at the center. When you have the lines right, fill them in with rice flour or corn meal. Put rice flour or corn meal into a ziploc baggie, and snip off the corner. The flour will pour neatly out the corner and make your rangoli line. Wheat flour tends to clump.
When the center petals of the lotus are done, do the next circle of petals. When the lotus is finished, brush away the original circle and radial lines as well as the footprints.
