Rangoli is made to welcome the Hindu deity Goddess Lakshmi into one's house. Apart from diyas, rangoli as an artwork adds a vibrant vibe to the festival. It is believed that Goddess Lakshmi visits every house during Diwali, and hence rangoli is one of the ideal ways of giving her a warm welcome. One can use vibrant colours, flowers, leaves, flour, coloured rice to make varied rangoli patterns.
