The rangoli provides an object for “fascination” or attention in a sacred space, in an atmosphere filled with festivity and devotion and the eye follows the orderly pattern of the rangoli with directed attention. A rangoli is filled with culturally recognizable symbols for comfort, protection, and wish fulfilment, and is a visual encounter with an aesthetically pleasing, moderately complex pattern.
But now with changing housing construction and social structures in India these are affecting the presence and requirement of rangoli. People are moving to urban apartment blocks where there is no area that can be set apart for pooja. Floor surfaces, such as tiled, carpeted and linoleum are poorly suited for the creation of rangolis. Also many families have emigrated to other countries where the practice of this floor art becomes almost non-existent. But all this has not deterred the rangoli enthusiasts. They practice them on paper, on the computer, or conduct competitions, or network to form clubs so as to find avenues to conserve this creative art.
In India, over the years different cultures have merged into its soul so the rangoli design is now seen more as a creative form of decoration during festivals and events than only a religious element. These influences are sometimes seen at Christmas time with elements like bells, reindeer, Santa Claus and different Holly wreaths used as a repetitive design element woven into geometrical rangoli designs.
Rangoli - Add color and vibrant energy to your life!
Rangoli is a line of exotic and colorful designs from the heart of South India to you in a pretty package. Part of the charm of the Rangoli designs comes from the hand-drawn nature of the artwork in keeping with the traditional way of drawing such designs.
Rangoli represents traditional South Indian art made with chalk in front of homes to welcome the goddess of wealth (Lakshmi) in.

Not all rangoli enthusiasts or practitioners are born artists. So to help them draw geometric designs, guides such as dots are placed strategically in the required shape of the design and then the artist connects these dots or goes around them in curves, lines and circles to create the design. In the present day market, there are several gadgets and design books to help the novice achieve near perfect rangolis - there are rollers - hollow tin rollers with handles and designs drilled on the surface, to be filled with rice powder and dragged effortlessly along the floor or across steps in diagonal lines to produce intricately designed rangolis. There are also plastic and metal trays, stencils or templates, sieve like trays with different rangoli designs on them to create instant rangolis; these have tiny holes along the pattern outline, so that when the rangoli powder is spread over the pattern, only the rangoli pattern gets transferred on to the floor instantly and neatly. There are also the kolam/rangoli stickers which can be stuck on the floor, in front of the altar or on the front doorstep. When these rangoli templates with various designs are used in combination with the rangoli rollers, new rangoli designs get created.
