Rangoli-189

Here is one more simple chain Rangoli.

 This is a small and simple Rangoli of 3X3 block.

The above block of 3X3 can be developed into a bigger one as shown above or according to your choice. My Rangoli is not so neat. If drawn a bit carefully would look good.

Rangoli-140

Dhanurmasam starts from 16th of this month.  This is an auspicious month for praying to lord Vishnu-specially through Rangolis. This will culminate with the three day festival of Sankranti. Sankranti, is an agricultural festival, thanks giving to Sun God for the bountiful crops that are harvested at this time and the brought home. But unlike all other festivals this festival also known as Pongal festival has a special place for Rangolis. Well more about all this later.

We have to gear up all our old Rangolis, notebooks, papers, paper cuttings containing Rangolis and also create something new, which we do every time. Well here we go:

This is 15 to 1 dots. Join as above. 

Watch out for more Rangolis.....

Diwali Special

Here is one more Rangoli for Diwali, Lakshmi Puja or for any Puja:

This is 15X15 dots. It has Swastikas and Diyas(Lamps). It is easy to draw. You can decorate it with colours, glitter powder or simple turmeric and vermilion or flower petals.

NOTE: Draw the Swastika other way(reverse). I have drawn it. I have drawn it wrong. I will try to correct and update it.

Diwali Rangolis

Diwali is fast approaching. So its time I posted some Rangolis specially for Diwali. The month starting from the next day of Diwali is known as Kartika Maasam-the month of "Kartika" when people keep fast and both in the morning and  evening light lamps just like on Diwali.  At least two lamps are lighted before dawn and after dawn. So these Rangolis can be drawn for the whole month. The full moon during the month is very auspicious and celebrated with great devotion. 

These Diyas(lamps) can be drawn free hand. But for an easy method one can use dots. Blow are the traditional chain or melika Rangolis of lamps. 

Here is a lamp with three wicks. We usually use brass lamps.

This is a lamp with five wicks. This is known as pancha(five) harathi and is used in temples or even our homes to give harathi to Gods.

These designs are very old and have been handed over generations.
