Simple And Beautiful Rangoli Designs For Festive Season

Festival Of Lights Deepavali is approaching and we are getting ready for the biggest Hindu festival. The festival is celebrated with traditions and cultures and the 5 days are celebrated with lots of enthusiasm and excitement. Diwali falls on the third day and is the most important day among the others.

Diwali comes in the month of Kartik to illuminate the darkest night. Diwali is celebrated across India majorly to celebrate the homecoming of Lord Ram who is considered as the seventh avatar of Vishnu.

People have been celebrating this day since ages to mark the victory of good (Ram) over evil (Ravana). People decorate their homes with lights, diyas, rangolis and flowers. Different parts of India celebrates Diwali differently, but the theme and aim to do it are same.

To decorate the homes rangoli is an old tradition that has been followed. It is called differently in different parts of India like Muggu in Andhra Pradesh, Kolam in Tamil Nadu, Alpana in West Bengal and Sanskar Bharti in Maharashtra. The traditional rangolis have been followed as a legacy and have been passed on to generations.

3. Go For Free Hand Designs

You can make peacock as it is filled with colours which looks very beautiful on Diwali. You can decorate it with diyas as well. You can also try freehand circular designs with colours complementing each other. A neatly drawn rangoli with well-chosen colours looks elegant anyhow.
