Description

Rangoli as an art form has its origin in India. In this form of artistic expression, simple or intricate patterns are drawn by hand. The patterns are drawn on the floor in a room of a house, or out on the road or in the courtyard. Rangoli is known by different names in different parts of the sub-continent. In the southern parts of the country like Tamil Nadu it is called Kolam and Golam or Kalam in Kerala. Rangoli is also known as mandana in Rajasthan, alpana in West Bengal, aripana in Bihar and chowk pujan in Uttar Pradesh. In the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, rangoli is called muggu. Although the designs make the area look beautiful, the actual purpose goes far beyond mere decoration and rangoli designs are considered the harbingers of good fortune and divine blessings.
