Rangoli-350

Hello Friends! 

I am sorry I couldn't post for the past two days. Something wrong with my net connection.

Anyways I will be posting some Rangolis now.

Rangoli-350

21X21--21 dots each row and 21 rows.

This is a square Rangoli. Lotuses, Swastikas and a bit of chain rangoli. 

Very easy to draw and colour too. While drawing the block of swastikas, you can first sprinkle a layer of colour and then draw the design over it with white rangoli powder. Where as for lotuses and the central block you can colour after drawing them.

If you look at it closely, it is made up of 7X7 dot blocks. So you can mix and match different blocks or just draw a single block for small spaces. These blocks are also easy for beginners and kids as well.

Please do drop in your comments and suggestions if any. If you like my designs, please like my page in FB and also do share the link with others.

Thank you. Keep an eye on my blog...

Now that we have invited the Lord into our home, offered him a beautiful carpet to sit, we are offering colourful and fragrant flowers to Him. 

As the Lord is known as Kamalaksha or Rajeeva Lochana, meaning His beautiful eyes are like lotuses. Therefore, the butterflies have surrounded Him, attracted to his lotus like eyes.

Hope you like these Rangolis.

Rangoli-343

17 dots 5 rows- straight dots till 5 dots

Lotuses and Swastika Rangoli: So here we go. This is the first one I am posting. Let us start our Dhanurmasam with this Rangoli. Lord likes lotus flowers. Swastika is symbol for auspiciousness. Lamps are lit as a symbol for illuminating our lives, bringing in wisdom, leading us towards the right path.

So on the first day-on 16th let us welcome the Lord to our homes with these flowers in the Rangoli.

Hope you like this Rangoli.

Please do remember to chant the name of your Ishtadevata while drawing the Rangoli.

Watch out for more on my blog...

Flower vases and Kites

21 dots - 3 rows in the center to 3. This is the season for flying kites. Especially in the North India, people fly kites on Sankranti. So I used kites. I wanted to be alittle different this time. So I opted for flower vases. Hope you like it.

Rangoli - 322

Here is one Rangoli for the Sankranti Day.

26 dots - 2 rows in the center to 2 dots.

The pots are Pongal pots-Pongal a sweet made of rice, milk and jaggery. The red squares are the small stools (Chowki in Hindi) with swastika for the Gods to be invited and offered Pongal.

It is very simple and easy to colour.

Rangoli - 321

Rangoli-319

Friends I am so sorry I could not post Rangolis all these days.  There was some problem with my net. It is not resolved completely but for the time being I think I can post. 

I created many Rangolis for this Dhanurmaasam. But alas I could not post. Any way here are some I am going to post from today.

You can see from the above Rangoli that I have joined blocks of 4X4 and 5X5 Rangolis. The center is Swastika, which is also a 5X5 block. 

You can extend this Rangoli by adding blocks according to your choice.

Hope you like it. Since the festival is from tommorrow wtch out for more Rangolis.

Carpet of Roses

19 to 1 straight dots. Follow the design above. 

As the Sun rises in the east on this winter morning, the reds and oranges, yellows and pinks  of the morning sky is beautiful to watch through the curtains of the mist. These colours are reflected in this design. 

Hope you like it.

Watch out for more in my next posts......

Rangoli - 317

Pumpkin Flowers and Gobbillu

15 dots- 3 rows in the center, 13, 11, 9......till 3, straight dots. You can follow the design from the picture above. 

Gobbillu are cow dung shaped into balls or pyramid shape, decorated with flowers (pumkin and marigold flowers), turmeric and vermilion  and kept on the Rangolis and worshiped. 

It is known as Gobbi Puja. It is done through out this month till Sankranti. They are made and worshipped daily morning and evening and each day they are patted to a wall to make cow dung cakes. Once thoroughly dried they are used as fuel. These cow dung cakes are biodegradable and cheap, made by every house in the villages. However the  Gobbi cow dung cakes are used for the sacred fire on the Rath Saptami Day when sun God is worshiped. 

Gobbi as per some peoples opinion is Gowri Devi or Consort of Lord Shiva and worshipped as such by maiden girls for a good husband and good future. Some feel that Goobi means Gopis. meaning cow herd girls also known as Gopikas, Gopemma. They were known for their devotion to Lord Krishna. 

So in this Rangoli, I have drawn Gobbi (cow dung balls) with marigold flowers and pumpkin flowers in between. I will write about these in detail in another post.

Watch out for more Rangolis....

Rangoli - 316

Leaf plates and Pongali

We Indians in olden days used plates and cups made from leaves. Even now we use when ever we can. These are called Vistaraakulu in Telugu and Patroli in Hindi. These are biodegradable and environment friendly. 

Well this is Dhanurmasam - whole month we Worship lord Vishnu and offer him different Prasadam made of rice like Pongali, Pulihora and Dadhyojanam. 

That is why I used this theme.

This is 19 to 1 straight dots.  Watch out for more Rangolis.....
