Floral Chariot 

Hi Friends. Hope you are all busy celebrating the festival ith family and friends.

We have successfully completed our one month Dhanurmasam, offering our prayers and thanksgiving to the Lord Narayana, Sun God and Nature through our Rangolis.

Only two more days to go. Tomorrow we will draw a chariot rangoli coming into our homes, inviting the Lord  and day after tomorrow we will again draw a chariot rangoli going out as a farewell to the Lord.

 This is the dot scheme. Wheels and the flag are free hand drawings.

Hope you all enjoyed my Rangolis and tried them. By God's grace, this year I could post the rangolis for the entire month. 

Watch out for more posts on embroidery and crafts as this time, I am going to post many of my projects in various stages.

Wishing you all a very Happy Sankranti/Pongal/Lohri and Bihu once again. See you soon.

Antique Lamps Rangoli

    

23 dots-7 rows in the middle and straight dots up to 7 on either side

I remember my childhood days, when we used (kerosene) lanterns, in spite of having electricity, because of frequent power cuts especially during summers and rainy seasons. Those were big sized and were known as hurricane lanterns. During our exam season we had two to three lanterns kept ready and we did study many a time with their help.

The smaller size were known as kerosene lamps as shown in my Rangoli. They came in different sizes and we used kerosene and cotton wicks in them. 

Cleaning the lamp glasses was a task for the women. But we were depended on these lamps as candles were and are still costly and could not be carried from room to room as easily. These lamps also had a provision for increasing or decreasing the flame.

So today's Rangoli features those antique lamps, now forgotten with the advent of emergency lights and torches. 

Hope you like this Rangoli.

5X5 Chain Rangolis

The traditional Chain or Mellika muggulu are all time favorites, whether during the festival season or for every day rangolis.

Here are some small Rangolis. Chain Rangolis.

Rangoli-358-Chain Rangoli 5X5

These are 5X5 blocks and can be expanded as per our requirement. These are very easy to draw and can fit small places. Same design can be repeated or one or more designs can be combined for bigger Rangolis.

If you want to colour them. It is better to sprinkle the colour (single or more colours in a square shape) first, then put dots on them and draw the Rangoli. Colouring after the pattern is drawn can be a bit more cumbersome.

Watch out for more.
