Rangoli-274

Vara Lakshmi Vratam Special

This is 21 dots-3 rows to 3- straight dots. I have kept it very simple and easy. Hope you like it. 

The Kalasam (pot with mango leaves and coconut) is used in the Vratam or ritual. So I drew that. The pots can be coloured using free flowing colours or coloured sand. The rest of the Rangoli can be drawn directly using coloured powders/sand, instead of drawing and filling up it with colours, to save time.

I have used yellow, green, orange red and terracotta colours as this is an auspicious occasion. However, a touch of blue has been given, to break the brightness of the other colours.

I kept it simple because, I don't want to spend much time on the Rangoli tomorrow. There is lots and lots to be done in the kitchen(cooking, sweets, savories and other snacks) and also the Puja. The decoration of the Goddess Lakshmi itself takes so much time. It is ok, if there are other women or girls in the house to help. But doing all this single handedly is tiresome. This requires, lots of energy and time. Though I have created elaborate and big designs, I posted this, as I feel it is difficult to draw these on the D-Day as there will be no time. 

Wishing you all a happy Vara Lakshmi Vratam and I pray that all of us and our families are blessed by the Goddess with, Health Wealth, Peace, Prosperity and Happiness.....

Independence Day Special

Here is the Rangoli specially for Independence Day. This can also be used for Republic Day

Center is 13 dots-5 rows. Leave four dots on either side and place 5 dots 4 rows. Join as shown and colour. Those who don't have much space like in flats can draw the center part-Flag with Diyas. That is 5X5 block. 

 This is 13X13 block. 

The Flags on all four sides have been added extra. 5x4 dots-5dots four rows.in the center(leaving four on each side. I have added these flags as I thought the 13X13 block was small. 

So friends, pick up the one which suits you and draw it tomorrow. 

Wishing You All A Happy Independence Day

Rangoli-272

Sravana Maasam Special 

This Rangoli, I have specially created for the Puja in the month of Sraavana or Saawan. But can be used for Lakshmi Puja, or any other Puja. 

Kalash, Swastika, and Lotus or water lilies liked by the Goddess Lakshmi and Gowri worshiped during this month. So I have used these motifs. Kalash is decorated with mango leaves and coconut as you can see. 

The dots used are 21 ti 1 straight dots. You can place one dot extra on all sides for the tip of the coconut. I have not placed that is why 21 dots. 

Have a closer look at the Rangoli.

Watch out for more.....
