Rangoli is an
art which precedes sculpture and painting. It is both an auspicious and a
preliminary necessity in any religious ritual. All festivals in Hindu Dharma,
including religious rituals, are related to Deities. It is a practice to draw
Rangoli at the site of any auspicious religious ritual such as a holy festival,
a religious festival, an auspicious function, ritualistic worship, a vowed
religious observance, etc. The Principle of a specific Deity is present in the
atmosphere in a larger proportion on the day of the festival or is attracted to
the venue where religious rituals of that Deity are being performed. Since
these rangolis are able to attract and emit the specific Deity’s Principle, the
atmosphere gets charged with the Principle and everyone benefits. In the
ancient times it was a practice to sweep and sprinkle every doorstep with
cowdung everyday and draw Rangoli.
Rangoli, there are so many varieties in which
we can decorate the entrance to our homes almost everyday with beautiful
rangoli designs. Rangoli patterns can be colourful or plain, it can be simple
rangoli designs or big rangolis with lot of colours and shapes. For instance a
peacock rangoli is a popular patterns because of its delicate designing and
multitude of colours.
