Rangoli art 

12th March

 Rangoli is an Indian decorative art form traditionally designed and created by women. It is a practice handed down from generation to generation. Every Indian state has its own style of Rangoli, but the techniques used to create them such as a dot and grid system, are very similar. All designs have symmetry and are designed to reflect the natural world. 

Rangoli is about creating a sense of balance; it is commonly believed that "Rangoli is life" and that it "purifies and transcends space and time”. 

For many people, creating Rangoli is a spiritual event which is said to bring forth wellbeing. This is reflected in the materials used to create Rangoli, such as flowers, sand and rice: all the materials that are part of one's environment and symbolise life.
