Make use of vibrant colours, flowers, leaves, coloured rice, flour and dry sand to make different rangoli patterns.
In the run-up to Diwali, people get busy with cleaning up their homes and decorating to usher in the festivities. One of the traditional ways of doing so is with rangoli — decorative designs made on the courtyard floor or house entrance during festivals. Rangoli is meant to be made in sacred areas as a way of ‘welcoming' Hindu deities into one's home. Amid the diyas and other lights, this colourful artwork adds vibrancy to the festive decor. It is said that Goddess Lakshmi visits each household on Diwali, so rangoli is one of the ideal ways of extending a warm reception to her.
One can use bright colours, flowers, leaves, coloured rice, flour and dry sand to make various rangoli patterns. The creativity that comes with giving the patterns a unique look is almost boundless. Some business establishments and office staff also organise competitions to judge the most attractive designs.
