Rangolis are one of the oldest art forms in India. They are made not just to decorate houses but also have a special significance. The term Rangoli is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘rang’ which means color, and ‘avali’ which means row. So a Rangoli is basically a row of color, weaved into a pattern of sorts. It is believed that this old age custom beautifies the house and also prevents negative energy from harming us. It helps us think positively and contributes to making our life prosperous.
Rangolis are made using various types of colors. They are made usually at the entrance of the houses for signifying the invitation on special occasions. The beautifully painted Rangolis remind one of the royal Rajput houses where Rangolis were drawn all year round but the grandest and most beautiful ones were drawn only on Diwali. Even today people follow that custom as they decorate their houses with these Diwali Rangolis in order to appease Goddess Lakshmi and welcome her to their houses.
