Rangoli is made by the peoples of India in their homes during the time of festivals. Especially during Dhanteras, Diwali, and new year. Rangoli is made to welcome the goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. In different states, it is known by different names. For example, muggu in Andhra Pradesh, kolam in Tamilnadu, Rangoli in Karnataka, Mandana in Rajasthan, and chowkpurana in Chhatisgarh.
Most of the peoples make it by using some papers on which, the designs are scripted by making holes. Most people used to make it on their own. Rangoli enhances the beauty of floors of the homes, especially during festivals.
If deeps are lightened, then it looks too beautiful. It becomes very much difficult for a beginner to make rangoli. There are other ways through which a beginner can make rangoli.
Top 8 ways to make the best rangoli.
1.First of all, make sure that you have cleaned that place because the dust particle may damage the rangoli.
2. Try to make big dots of color, to form a circle, with the help of a circular plate.
3. Use a match stick to make petals, from the dots that you have made. It would look so beautiful.
4.In the middle of the circle, do the same thing but use contrasting colors.
5. If you are a beginner then take only, few amounts of color in your pinch and spread it gently.
6. Draw bigger petals from the center to the outer circle. Here also you should use contrasting colors to make your rangoli more attractive.
7.Do this with patience and if you find some difficulty then draw the rangoli first by chowk and then fill it.
8. Make borders using white colors. The white color enhances the beauty of your rangoli.
Every color has its importance. It depends on you, what types of combination you make.
You have to train your pinches and you have to increase your creating powers. All the magic is located in your brains, just you have to open it and use it. Try to see the other rangoli designs and learn, how they are made?.
By seeing the rangoli designs, you can easily make your design. I advise you that, you to use only a few amounts of black color if required. It depends upon the pattern you have made. If you make rangoli of maa Durga then, for eyes and eyebrow, you should use black color. You can use black or red for the third eye, of maa Durga but the lips should be red.
You can also use small bottles with narrow openings. It is very much helpful, and rangoli making becomes very much easy, by using it.
Try to make the borders first and then, fill the colors in the space between the borders. Use the colors that attract the eyes of people. Using shiny colors helps better decorations.
I will suggest you draw only circular rangoli's because they look best. While color is mostly used in rangoli for making borders. Make sure that, you have all the colors in sufficient amounts. Otherwise, it may degrade the beauty of your rangoli.
The beginners should start with circular rangoli only because it is easy to make and looks attractive.
Don't copy the patterns of others, just copy their techniques. Because techniques are most important than your pattern.
If you draw a pattern using a chowk then, you should make it wet with water.
If you make a swastika, at the center of rangoli then, make it using red color. The swastika represents holiness, cleanliness, and the presence of God. You can also draw the figure of footprints, that represents the footprints of the goddess Lakshmi. These signs attract God's powers to your homes and remove evil power.
If you make the rangoli of Ganesha, then it would bring auspiciousness to your homes.
You can also use, the petals of flowers such as marigold, rose, mogra, lotus, as it was used many years ago.
Make sure that the symmetry of your rangoli is perfect and colors perfectly fit into your patterns. For making dots, you can make use of a funnel or you can make it by paper.
If you are the best, then try to make the rangoli of maa Lakshmi. It would attract the eyes of people and I am damn sure that the goddess would be very much happy with you. The only thing is that you have to trust yourself and devotion to your work.
Don't forget to make deeps around your rangoli, as it represents Deepawali. The major color should be used more, than the other.
Most of the people make the rangoli of cartoons, that are shown in tv shows. But according to our tradition, we should make traditional designs only and make our creativity by thinking traditional.
The first rangoli should be drawn in front of your first door and on the sides of the entrance.
According to tradition, one should make rangoli in the early morning by cleaning the place.
One has to make it using patience. Having impatience may lead you to make some mistakes. Don't use the mixed colors, as the mixed one looks too dull. After making full rangoli, make sure that it should not be damaged. It should be cleared only on the next day.
Make rangoli in front of the temple in your home. This helps to attract God's powers more and more. Also watch the available videos, on YouTube from which you can learn the techniques to make rangoli.
If you see someone making rangoli, then by keeping watch on his movement of pinches, one can easily learn. Make those rangolis, that are traditional and are of your creativity. This would make you a master in it.
