Rangoli is a reflection of vibrant Indian culture. It is a creative art done on the floors of the house or the entrance to welcome the Hindu deity Lakshmi to our homes, since, she represents good fortune.You cannot imagine an Indian festival without a rangoli; it actually sets the mood for celebration and brightens up your home.
Rangoli is created using coloured rice, dry flour, flower petals, turmeric (haldi), Vermillion (Sindoor) and coloured sand. The patterns include the face of Hindu deities, geometric shapes peacock motifs and round floral designs. Many of these motifs are traditional and are handed down by the previous generations. This makes rangolia representation of India’s rich heritage and the fact that it is a land of festivals and colour.
