A rangoli painted on the occasion of Diwali, a popular Hindu festival.

A rangoli made with flowers on the occasion of Onam.

Rangoli is one of the most popular art forms in India. It is a form of sandpainting decoration that uses finely ground white and coloured powders, and is commonly done outside homes in India.

The term rangoli is derived from the words rang (colour) and aavalli ('coloured creepers' or 'row of colours').

[edit] Origin

The origin of rangoli painting is traced to a legend recorded in the Chitralakshana, the earliest Nepalese treatise on painting. When the son of a King's high priest died, Brahma, Lord of the universe, asked the king to paint the likeness of the boy so that Brahma could breathe life into him again. This is how, it is believed, the first painting was made. Also, the son of the king painted a portrait of a girl whom the son liked very much, although the king would not let his son see her. Rangoli also became a form of self-portraiture for women.

Another popular story is that God, in one of his creative episodes, extracted the juice from one of the mango trees as paint, and drew the figure of a woman so beautiful that it put the heavenly maidens to shame.

Chola rulers made extensive use of floor paintings. They are known by different names in different parts of the country; Alpana in Bengal, Aripana in Bihar, Madana in Rajasthan, Rangoli in Gujarat, Karnataka and Maharashtra, Chowkpurana in Uttar Pradesh and Kolam in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, Muggu in Andhra Pradesh. Some of these terms, especially many of the North Indian ones like Aalpana, more often refer to floor painting with traditional wet colour than to the powder rangoli more conventional in South India.

As with Hindu and Buddhist Mandalas, the use of powder or sand as a medium for creating fragile Rangoli is sometimes thought to be a metaphor for the impermanence of life and maya.
[edit] Description

The motifs in traditional Rangoli are usually taken from Nature: peacocks, swans, mango, flowers, creepers, etc. The colours traditionally were derived from natural dyes - from barks of trees, leaves, indigo, etc. Today, however, synthetic dyes are used in a range of bright colours.

Anyway, the materials used for Rangoli take on either a flat appearance (when a uniform monolayer of powders is sprinkled) or a 3-D effect (when different-sized grains like cereals or pulses are used, either in their natural colouring or tinted with natural dyes). Some artists use the 3-D effect for borders alone, while others create complete designs using grains and beads entirely.

Coloured powder can be directly used for fancy decorations, but for detailed work, generally the material is a coarse-grained powder base into which colours are mixed. The base is chosen to be coarse so that it can be gripped well and sprinkled with good control. The base can be sand, marble dust, sawdust, brick dust or other materials. The colours generally are very fine pigment podwers like gulal/aabir available for Holi or colours (mentioned above) specially sold for rangoli in South India. Various day-to-day colored powders are also variously used: indigo for cloth staining, and spices like turmeric, chili, rawa, rice flour, and wheat flour. Powder colours can be simply mixed into the base. If the base is light like sawdust, it can be used to make floating rangoli on the surface of stagnant water. Sometimes sawdust or sand is soaked in water-based colour and dried to give various tints (though the result of this process may not itself float on water). If a rangoli is to be made on water, the colour should preferably be insoluble in water. [1]
An elaborate rangoli that looks like a painting

The designs are symbolic and common to the entire country, and can include geometrical patterns, with lines, dots, squares, circles, triangles; the swastika, lotus, trident, fish, conch shell, footprints (supposed to be of goddess Lakshmi), creepers, leaves, trees, flowers, animals and anthropomorphic figures. These motifs often are modified to fit in with the local images and rhythms. One important point is that the entire pattern must be an unbroken line, with no gaps to be left anywhere for evil spirits to enter.

Originally Rangoli was done in small patterns — 2 feet square — but now entire floor areas of rooms and hotel foyers are covered in intricate detailed designs. Traditionally, such floor decorations were done only on auspicious occasions or festivals. But today, any occasion is good enough — weddings, birthday parties, opening ceremonies, etc. In the deep South and South West of India and Kerala, flowers are used to create floor art.

Rangoli can be improvised into diverse visual art forms. For instance, it can be used to make elaborate images that look as if they were painted (some examples of such Rangolis: [2],[3],[4],[5],[6]. Sprinkling powder by hand is a very laborious and difficult process, however, and it's difficult to render fine details, so the image must be quite large.

In Indian cultures, all guests and visitors occupy a very special place, and a rangoli is an expression of this warm hospitality. In particular, the Hindu Diwali festival is widely celebrated with rangoli, thanks to the Nepalese, since at this time, people visit each other's homes to exchange greetings and sweets.
