Diwali is just around the corner. People are seen getting busy with cleaning up their homes and decorations. One of the most traditional ways to do the same is with rangoli, which is nothing but decorative designs used at the home entrance during the festive season.
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. As we all gear up to celebrate Diwali on October 4, here's looking at some amazing rangoli ideas which you can use to flaunt the artist in you.
Coloured rice rangoli
One can use rice dipped in different colours to make your design pattern. You can also place diyas at the ends of your rangoli design to add that dash of charm.
Flour and colours rangoli
A lot of people use flour and colours to make their rangoli stand out. You can also mix natural colours with flour to make varied designs at home. Celebrate Diiwali in an eco-friendly way.
You can use watercolours to make your rangoli, if the surface of your floor always remains dry, team it up with varied designs and a mix of different colours. You can also try layered pattern style.
If you do not want to use flowers, try using artificial decoration to make your rangoli design stand out. Place the diyas in a different style and make it vibrant.
