Rangoli Festival 2018-19

Hello!

Friends, the pious month of Dhanurmasam starts from 16th of December. You all know that it culminates in Sankranti or Pongal celebrations.

This whole month we draw beautiful Rangolis in front of our main entrance or in the front yard before the Sun rise to welcome lord Vishnu. It is considered as a form of prayer and thanks giving to Lord Vishnu and Sun God who is also know as Pratyaksha Narayana. After all without their benevolence, all living beings cannot sustain their lives. Sun whose light and heat provide all living beings not only the life sustaining energy but also food for survival.

So as a thanks giving we offer our prayers the whole month through our Rangolis. Isn't our culture unique in celebrating the Nature and its changing seasons?

Last year I couldn't post any rangolis as I was not well. But this year I am better and so will try to post new designs. Please do try them. And if possible send me some pictures. 

Alas I cannot draw such huge designs on the floor myself this year too(last year I just could draw anything at all). I will be so happy to see yours as at least through you I can reach The Lord.




I just hope I can post more than one design till Pongal. I am already creating new ones. So do join me from 14th.
