Rangoli - 325

Here is one more Rangoli for VaraLakshmi Puja.

This time it Kalash with Swastika. We use Kalash for this Puja. Goddess Lakshmi likes Lotuses or water lilies whatever you call them. I am always confused and can't differentiate between the two.

This is 21 to 1 dot straight dots. I have used red, yellow, saffron colours as it is an auspicious religious occasion. I have used pinks for the lotuses. 

I have kept it simple. We can't waste time on Rangoli alone when there is lots to be done. Do you agree with me?

Hope you like it. Please do try it and let me know.

I do have lots of designs but no time to post. Need to prepare everything for tomorrows Puja...

Rangoli-324

Hi guys, I am posting some Rangoli. These are simple and easy Chain Rangoli. 

Tomorrow is Varalakshmi Vratam. We worship Goddess Lakshmi-Goddess of wealth. I am posting some small Rangoli, which can be easily drawn in the front yard or inside the house.

You can easily see the dots used. I have posted variations of swastika. 

If you are drawing this before your Puja Mandir, you can prepare the base of turmeric powder sprinkled in circular or square shape,  and on it use rice flour for the dots, then draw the designs using red Sindoor(vermilion). This is considered auspicious for religious purposes and Puja.

Swastika is an auspicious symbol used by Hindus and denotes prosperity, luck, security etc. 

Hope you like it.....

Rangoli-280

Friends, the auspicious month of Dhanurmaasam (Sun entering the Zodiac sign of Sagittarius) starts from tomorrow. It is a month long Rangoli festival. We clean our front yards, sprinkle cow dung mixed water and draw beautiful Rangolis-with or with out dots, using lines or free hand- before Sun rise. 

This is the time to show our creative skills. Every Indian women-especially South Indian women take this as a challenge, drawing, huge designs, very intricate, very creative. They include traditional as well as modern ones. 

With the winter at its peak this year(so early), it is so difficult to draw the Rangolis. Our fingers go numb after some time and drawing becomes difficult. To be in bending position for long time to draw these designs, our legs and back become stiff. But still we do this every year with out fail. For, it is a way of praying to the Lord for His Grace.

So here we go with the first Rangoli of the season:

The dots for this are:

21, 19, 17, 15, 15, 11, 9, 9, 5, 3, 1, straight dots.

I have chosen the theme of flowers and butterflies, as my garden is full of beautiful flowers and it is a delight to watch many butterflies visiting them. They let the sun rise and after 2-3 hours, sun themselves to get rid of the dew on their wings and then they go on their business. 

This is an easy Rangoli- warming up for much more to come. I will try to post at least one design every day. So watch out  for many beautiful ones to come.....

Your comments and suggestions do motivate me...so please take a little time to drop in your comments/suggestions....

Oh Don't forget to chant Lords name while drawing these Rangolis...it can be Sri Ram, Hare Rama, Hare Rama....or Govinda or anything which you like....

I thank all my friends and family who are standing by me, praying for me in these difficult times. Thanks a lot, God Bless You all. With out all your support, it would have been very difficult for me.

However, I will try to post as much as I can. Here is one more Rangoli for you. Very simple and easy to draw.
