Just like how a vibration can lead to a geometric pattern, the reverse is also possible. When a person looks at such a geometric pattern, it manifests into vibrations inside the mind of the observer which in turn calms the mind. And this is exactly what the rangoli does to one’s mind. i.e It has a soothing effect. Scientists & Doctors have extended it further and created a new medical field called Cymatherapy in which highly complex vibrations are converted into sound patterns, which in turn can be used to heal a person’s body and emotions. Just like how we have Fourier transform which translates a given vibration pattern into waves in the time domain and corresponding spectrum in frequency domain, we have Cymatics which is in the visual domain and Cymatherapy in the corresponding sound domain.
It is a well established fact in neuro-science that the brain actually responds to visual patterns and depending on the shapes & patterns, it can have different effects on the mind. There have been research publications on how even a simple geometric shape like a triangle can activate neural circuitry and affect emotions. Not just shapes, but colors also play a role in stimulating the brain. Modern science is still evolving and lot of research work is going on in this field with new discoveries related to visual patterns, brain stimulation etc. Interested readers can learn more about these topics and it’s advancements by reading reports & books by the renowned neuro-scientist V.S.Ramachandran (VSR) who has delivered TED talks, seminars & neuro-analysis of art including one on Indian art and neuroscience.
The reason a rangoli is drawn at the entrance of a house is because of it’s calming effect on a visitor who is just about to enter into the house. It manifests into vibrations (brainwaves) in the visitor’s mind, putting him at ease, making him comfortable and happy.
Here is a home video of a simple experiment which demonstrates the relationship between several frequencies of vibrations and their corresponding complex geometric patterns in the form of rangoli
Hence, rangoli is not just an art but actually a science of vibration pattern which was discovered by Indians thousands of years ago and been made a part of the culture for spiritual, aesthetic & scientific purposes.
