The plastic stencil trays come in different sizes; small ones with a single simple pattern, or a border pattern and large ones with a bigger complex pattern.
The plastic stencil tray is placed on the floor. The coloured rangoli powder is put into the stencil tray, and then spread with the fingers over the pattern with holes, while holding down the tray firmly. Then the tray is gently lifted up taking care not to smudge, leaving the dotted rangoli pattern on the floor.
Circular pattern sieves come in small and large sizes with simple patterns and complex designs.
Similar to the plastic stencil tray, the plastic sieve is placed on the floor and the coloured rangoli powder is sprayed over it and gently dabbed down with the fingers. The sieve is then carefully lifted up without smudging, leaving behind the rangoli pattern on the floor.
In this way a fast and instant rangoli gets created even by a novice rangoli maker.
These rangoli templates with various designs when used in combination with the rangoli rollers, and with some creative planning new rangoli designs get created!
Coloured powders like indigo used for cloth staining, spices like turmeric, chili, rawa, rice flour, flour of wheat etc are traditionally used in the rangoli patterns.
But in the present day, coloured powder is usually used directly 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, saw dust, brick dust or other materials. The colours generally are very fine pigment powders like gulal/aabir available for the Holi festival or colours (mentioned above) specially sold for rangoli in South India. Powder colours can be simply mixed into the base.
If the base is light like saw dust, it can be used to make floating rangolis on the surface of still water. Sometimes saw-dust or sand is soaked into water based colours and dried to give various tints. If a rangoli is to be made on water, the colour should preferably be insoluble in water.
A large variety of materials are used to make the rangoli designs in the present day.
People across the country have learnt to experiment and mix and match materials as the creative minds that make these rangolis are looking for innovative and modern answers. These materials are also coloured as per the need.
A rangoli using these modern materials was created by students of IDC for the inaugural ceremony of TYPOGRAPHY DAY at IITB. This is a perfect example of the combination of learned rangoli skills, usage of modern materials and innovation and adaptation of the design to suit the occasion. The following pictures indicate the same. One can observe from this rangoli the usage of certain alphabets from some of the Indian languages as repetitive design elements.
