Rangoli is a traditional Indian art form. It is done by applying colored powders or small pieces of colored paper to the floor, typically round or hexagonal in shape. The word rangoli is derived from the Sanskrit word “rangam” which means colour and “li” which means play.

The word rangoli is often confused with kolam, which has similar patterns but are drawn mostly on floors and made of rice flour and flower petals. In fact, it is a different art form altogether.

The powder used for making rangoli is usually prepared by grinding dry, uncolored (white) rice to a very fine texture. This powder thus produced is then mixed with powdered colors like red, yellow, blue, green and orange to get the required shades for the rangoli drawing. This process can be tedious as each color has to be ground separately to get the exact shade needed for making a particular rangoli design. The powder prepared from white rice can also be mixed with any other fine powder such as wheat flour or corn flour to make designs on paper, cloth or walls.

Rangoli drawings are made during festivals like Diwali and Durga Puja in India and some other Asian countries. Rangolis are also drawn in houses

Rangoli is a form of art. It is an Indian art that is practiced in many parts of India. Rangoli usually signifies the presence of a Hindu festival or custom. It is also known as Kolam, Pattal or Hueda and it is popular in Tamil Nadu and other southern states, where it is commonly seen at the entrance of houses during festivals like Diwali.

The word “rangoli” literally translates to “colors”, but what we see today are intricate patterns drawn on floor using colored rice flour mixed with water.

Rangoli art style has more than one variety since each state in India has its own variation, and every family has their own signature rangoli style which they have been drawing for generations.

Rangoli art is an art that uses rangoli designs for wall paintings and other decorations. Originating in southern India, it has become popular in many Indian states and has also been incorporated into Indian diaspora communities such as the Indian community in Fiji.

Tambi means clay, so tambi rangoli or clay rangoli refers to a design drawn on wet mud or clay. This is done during the festival seasons of Pongal, Onam, Vishu, Ugadi, etc. The designs may be drawn on floors while they are still wet, or on walls which are then plastered over to preserve the pattern. Sometimes these patterns are created with coloured rice flour mixed with a little water and white of egg (don’t ask me why). The colours are made from natural sources such as ground chalk powder, turmeric powder, charcoal powder, dry red chillies and black rock salt.

The place where rangoli is made is called rangoli katta (rangoli platform). Floors of most houses are used to make rangolis during festivals. Women gather together at each other’s houses to make rangolis together; this serves as an occasion to catch up with each other’s news. Children also draw simple rangolis on the floor during festivals

rangoli art is an art form originating in india that involves arranging patterns of colored powder or paste on the floor. The subject matter of rangoli varies widely, from geometric designs to depictions of gods, goddesses and other religious symbols.

For more than 25 years, I have been working with color. My early education in art was in traditional forms, but I soon realized that my creative spirit could not be contained within the limits of tradition. Color to me is light and energy. It is the vitalizing source of all visual expression. Because color is so powerful, it has always been the focus of my artistic investigations.

Towards the end of my training at the Kala Bhavan (Institute of Art) in Santiniketan, India, I became fascinated by the work of contemporary artist Jyoti Bhatt. She was one of the first artists in India to truly explore abstract painting and was using the vibrant colors and rhythms of our traditional crafts to expand her work. My work with her opened new doors for me and instilled a fresh confidence in my own creativity.

In February 1985, I returned to India after living in Japan for five years and found myself floundering as an artist and questioning whether what I had learned since leaving India had any relevance or meaning for my life as an artist or for Indian art as a whole. As I began to experiment with traditional media and imagery, a pattern emerged that focused on color relationships found in nature. This led me to explore a
