Lets begin with some sample designs.
Easy Rangoli Design
Easy Rangoli is based on the difficult level for making a drawing. This is not same for everyone as a single design may be interpreted at a different difficulty level by different house makers who are actually making these Rangoli designs.
Keeping this in mind, we always identify really easy Rangoli Designs for all different types of daily or festival Rangoli we have covered across the site.
Simple Rangoli Design
As far as the literal meaning goes, we have interpreted the Simple Rangoli for the look it gives. For many they mean simple as easy, so we have taken that also into consideration.
As we have already covered Easy Rangoli Design just above, in this section we are covering easy as well as Simple look based Rangoli arts.
Flower Rangoli
As far as Rangoli is done it is made based on powder colors. Sometimes we make designs on the floor based on Flower as well, such as the designs made on Onam in Kerala.
Flower Rangoli Design is most preferred way of doing rangoli now a days in some places because of its sustainability and organic in nature.
Ram Rangoli Designs
Rangoli is done mostly on family and by the Mother or the home maker of the family. Prabhu Shri Ram is considered as an ideal family man, hence Ram Rangoli is part of everyday art or at least on most of the festivals.
Conclusion
Rangoli is an everyday art that is made on the floor at the entrance of almost every Hindu household.
Home makers based on metro cities may have a tight schedule to make any Rangoli Design on everyday basis but still it is a part of our special festivals that comes once in a year such as Diwali, Holi, Rakhs Bandhan, Guru Purnima etc.
