Splash of Colours

COLOUR PALETTE

The moment we hear the word ‘Rangoli’, an image of extremely colourful and vibrant patterns decorated on the floors to celebrate an occasion or festivity conjures our mind. Reflecting ethnicity, folklore and traditions of different areas, Rangoli is an expression of gratitude towards Nature and a perfect symbol of beauty, hope, and culture.

The word Rangoli comes from a Sanskrit word ‘rangavali’ which means rows of colours or coloured earth. Rangoli is traditional Indian folk art, generally created on a floor on special occasions. The origin of rangoli making can be traced back to the Hindu mythological Puranas when it was practised as a part of the daily ritual by women to decorate their houses so as to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck. This divine art is seen as a means of decorating homes to bring peace, health, prosperity and good luck to the lives of the people living in. In earlier times, women used to chant hymns and bhajans while making rangolis. It is believed that a rangoli drawn on the floor has a calming effect on the minds of guests coming to the house. It generates positive vibrations in their mind, thereby making them feel invited and comfortable in the new environ.

The designs of rangolis are believed to have psychic aspects. Each design is believed to have a spiritual angle. The energy created by the patterns of rangoli motivates and generate positive energy in people. A rangoli should be completely balanced with one side exactly similar to the other. The sharp edges of Rangoli represent luck, growth, and prosperity. The centre of Rangoli is generally in circular form symbolizing ‘garbha’ i.e. the main chamber of a temple. The dots drawn in most of the rangoli patterns can be related to tilak on the forehead.

The tradition of Rangoli making on the floor started in Maharashtra and it slowly spread to other parts of India. In Tamil Nadu, Rangoli is known as Kolam. In Rajasthan, the Mandanas are drawn on walls. In Kolkata, Alpana is drawn in the courtyard. Chowkpurana in Uttar Pradesh, Aripana in Bihar and Muggu in Andhra Pradesh.

Rangolis are meticulously painted using both wet and dry colours. Rice powder or paste, coloured rice grains, chalk powder, flour, sand and flower petals are used to make outlines of the design. The design is then filled with colours from natural substances like vermillion, turmeric powder, indigo powder, flowers, flower petals, coloured sawdust, sand and even ground pulses.  

Rangoli can be made on the floor, sidewalk, or entrance of homes. Firstly a smooth and even surface is selected to draw a pattern. The area is washed or wiped with water and left to dry. The basic outline of the Rangoli is drawn with chalk, crayon or a pencil and then topped with rice powder or flour so that the outline stands out clearly. The pattern is then filled with different colours to bring out the sharpness and details in the most effective manner.

The designs of rangoli can be simple geometric patterns, floral shapes or can even have very intricate designs. Some common patterns used in Rangoli are pictures of peacocks, parrots, swans, diyas, lotus flowers, mangoes, fish, leaves etc.

In the past, most of the rangolis made in the states of North India were made square in shape while they were hexagonal in South India. The rangolis made at the festival of Onam in Kerala used to be circular in shape. But today, though a slight resemblance might be present to these ancestral designs, rangoli patterns are not region-specific anymore.  

Types of Rangolis:

Rangoli making is of two types on the basis of patterns:

Form

The geometric shapes of circles, cones and lines are form-dominant type of rangoli.

Ornamental

Ornamental rangoli includes the images of birds, animals, trees, flower and deities. They might have a conch, Swastika, moon or sun in the centre. Each pattern is believed to have a religious connotation. The eight petals of lotus are a symbolic representation of the Sun, Lord Vishnu and eight directions of the Universe. The lotus represents Goddess Lakshmi and is considered to be a symbol of procreation whereas her feet represents wealth and prosperity.  Similarly a diya drawn in a rangoli is a symbol of enlightenment, knowledge and wisdom.
