Hi

Hello to you all my friends. I am still busy with my work and not able to do much with my crafts nor my blog. I am still organizing all my craft supplies and WIP craft and art projects(in various stages). I am still struggling  with storage solutions.

From 16th of December, the auspicious month of Dhanurmaasam starts. So we have to do our best to draw new Rangolis which are creative, beautiful sometimes big sometimes small depending on the area of our front yards. Well I have already started creating new designs. So brace yourselves. From 15th December, I am going to post new Rangolis daily till Pongal. At least I will try to post as much and as many as I can. 

You are also welcome to send in any designs of Rangolis, so that we all can share it. You can mail me the photos of the Rangolis along with details of no of dots used etc. 

Till then I am taking a break and will not post Rangolis.

Rangoli-228

Rangolis for the month of Kartika

Kartika-the month following Diwali is celebrated as the month of lights. Lamps are lit every day in the morning and in the evening. It is considered to be very pious to light as many lamps as one can especially in temples of Shiva or Vishnu or even at home. Terracota or earthen ware lamps or those made of, bronze, silver or even gold can be lighted using gingelly or coconut oil or Ghee made from Cow's milk. Usually lamps made of bronze are very popular

Here are some Rangolis of lamps or Diyas as they are known in Hindi or as deepam in Telugu from my previous posts:
