Rangoli-3

Friends, I want to share you some of the Rangolis drawn in front of my home now and then. These are free style or free hand drawings, or have been drawn using small lines as base.


 This is a simple design drawn using the mesh of four lines in the center.
 
 This was also drawn using the mesh of four lines in the center.
 
This ia a free hand design.
 
This has been drawn using the four lines in the four corners and the top. I am not so very skill full. So my design is not that neat.
 
Here is a closer look at the bottom portion of the design.
 
 This is again free hand design drawn with coloured powders.
 
This is a 6 petaled Lotus. This is considered to be very auspicious and denotes Goddess Lakshmi (wealth).
The center has been filled with turmeric, vermilion, marigold and chrysanthemum flowers and also berries known as Regipallu in Telugu or Ber in Hindi. These are offerings to Sun God and Lord Vishnu.
 
This is a closer look.

I will be back next time with more complicated and intricate designs. Please leave your suggestions and comments.
