Popular designs for Durga Ashtami include the Lotus Alta Design featuring a large flower on the palm or foot, the Bengali Alpana style with curved lines and petals, the Mandala design with a central circle, and simple fingertip applications.

To ensure your alta lines remain neat and sharp, use an earbud or fine brush during application. Letting it dry for a few minutes and keeping it away from water will help maintain its brightness throughout the day.

The Red and White Border Alta Design features deep red alta on the front of the feet complemented by fine white artwork, dots, and arches along the edges for a heavily ornamented look. It can also include a straight row of dots meeting a central flower or circular wheel pattern.
