How To Make Saathiya?

✏️ Step 1: Prepare Your Surface

  • Choose a clean, flat surface—floor, wall, or paper.

  • If drawing for a ritual, use red or yellow color powder, turmeric paste, or kumkum.

🔲 Step 2: Draw a Central Cross

  • Start by drawing a plus sign (+) with equal-length vertical and horizontal lines.

  • This forms the base structure of the Saathiya.

🔄 Step 3: Add Right-Angle Arms

  • At the end of each line, draw a short line at a 90° angle, turning clockwise:

    • Top end → line to the right

    • Right end → line downward

    • Bottom end → line to the left

    • Left end → line upward

📐 Step 4: Extend the Arms

  • Extend each of the new short lines by 1–2 cm to form the “hook” shape.

  • You now have a clockwise Swastik, which is considered auspicious.

🪙 Step 5: Add Decorative Dots (Optional)

  • Place four dots around the Swastik—one in each quadrant.

  • These dots symbolize spiritual completeness and are common in Jain Saathiya designs.

🎨 Step 6: Use Colors or Materials
