6.5 kg of gold and 384 carats of diamonds — that is what shoppers saw when Bollywood actor Tamannaah Bhatia launched a massive gold rangoli in Dubai. The stunning artwork kicked off the city's official Diwali celebrations at City Centre Deira.
Why use traditional coloured powders or flower petals when you can use solid gold? Artisans built this two-by-two-metre installation with high-end jewellery pieces for a public display of festive art. The lavish creation brings a precious metal perspective to traditional celebratory decor across the region.

Damas Jewellery partnered with the Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment to supply pieces from their Rangoli, Legacy, and Ananya collections. These included necklaces, bangles, earrings, and rings. Each collection added distinct gold textures and diamond arrangements — giving the rangoli multi-dimensional brilliance under retail display lights.
