Rangoli-300

Republic Day Special

This is 25 to 1 straight dots. Celebrating 26th January as Republic Day by all of us Indians hence our tri-colour Flag with Lotuses and a little bit of chain Rangoli. Hope you all like it.

My Greetings to all on the occasion of Republic Day on 26th January. Let us Indians remember our heroes whether freedom fighters or great sons or daughters of our land like, Maha Rana Pratap, Prithviraj Chauhan or Jhansi Lakshmi Bai, Rani Rudrama, Veer Shivaji and so many others -known and unknown -their sacrifices and their devotion towards nation and people and their services. 

My salute to our Armed Forces and Police with out whose continuous services to the nation we would not be enjoying this freedom and peace. 

We also need to put in our efforts in what ever way we can to develop our nation, maintain peace and spread happiness so that the coming generations-our own children can live peacefully and happily.

Rangoli-299

Ratham Or Chariot Rangoli

Here is a chariot or Ratham Rangloi. You can note the dots from the design above. I have drawn it as Navaratna Ratham-the chariot studded with nine types of gems. In the center, I have drawn a chair for the Lord to sit and a lamp too. 

Sorry for posting so late. I was so busy today. 

This is drawn on Kanuma(third day of festival) and also on Mukkanuma(fourth day). On Kanuma(3rd day), the chariot is drawn entering into the house. It has come to pick up the Lord who has visited us during the festival. On the 4th day, the chariot is drawn going out of the house. That is the Lord is seated in the chariot and is leaving us and going off to his place. A string (a line) is drawn from the chariot on to the road as far as possible, as if it being pulled away. Usually it is linked with the chariot drawn by the neighbor. This way chariots of one is linked to the other. 

Hope you like it. Watch out I may post some more tomorrow.

Pongal-Sankranti Special 

21- 7 times(in the center) to 7 straight dots. 

Kites, Pongali Pots, sugarcane, Gobbilu (pyramid shaped mounds made of cow dung- decorated with pumpkin flowers, placed in the center of Rangolis), red jujube berries(read more in the link below) and colourful rangolis reflect the festive spirit. Hence I have used all those elements in my Rangoli.
