Diwali Rangoli Designs

Rangoli is a traditional form of art that’s created to adorn the floors of houses, especially the entrance, during festivals. It forms an essential part of Diwali decorations. The Diwali rangolis include traditional motifs, geometrical patterns, and images of Gods and Goddesses, diyas (lamps), and dancing figures. Sometimes, they are created to represent heavenly bodies like the rising sun, stars, and moon. Auspicious symbols like the “Om”, “Swastika”, or a lighted diya are included in the designs for Diwali rangoli.

The Rangoli for Diwali is usually prepared with a paste of white stone, rice flour, and lime. An interesting way to add beauty to rangolis is placing lamps in spaces within the designs. Petals of flowers like red roses and golden colored marigolds are sometimes used to decorate the rangoli for Diwali. A lot of care is taken to focus on the aesthetic sense so as to create beautiful rangolis for this festive occasion.

The primary significance of creating these rangoli designs is to welcome Goddess Lakshmi into one’s home during Diwali and please her. This is done to make sure that the Goddess offers blessings for good health, wealth, and happiness on this auspicious occasion.
