Welcome to Rangoli-Sankranthi Special(Muggulu,Kolangal) app.

Rangoli is an art form, originating in the Indian subcontinent, in which patterns are created on

the floor in living rooms or courtyards using materials such as colored rice, dry flour, colored

sand or flower petals. It is usually made during Diwali or Tihar (collectively known as

Deepawali), Onam, Pongal and other festivals from the Indian subcontinent related to Hinduism.

Designs are passed from one generation to the next, keeping both the art form and the tradition

alive.

The purpose of rangoli is decoration, and it is thought to bring good luck. Design depictions may

also vary as they reflect traditions, folklore and practices that are unique to each area. It is

traditionally done by women. Generally, this practice is showcased during occasions such as

festivals, auspicious observances, marriage celebrations and other similar milestones and

gatherings. In Nepal, Colorful rangoli are made from dyes and are lit up at night outside peoples

homes and businesses.
