Also during this festival, two interfaced triangles are created that indicates the deity of learning, Sarswati. Encircling this is a 24-petal lotus flower border, the outer circle being decorated with Lakshmi's footprints repeated in four corners. Sometimes the lotus petals are made in a triangular shape for variety. In north Bihar, Lakshmi's feet are drawn at the door, the toes pointing inwards to indicate her entrance.
In Andhra Pradesh during Diwali an eight-petal lotus (ashtadal kamal) and many geometric patterns forming the lotus are created. In Tamil Nadu the hridaya kamalam an eight-pointed star meaning lotus of the heart is drawn. In Maharasthra too, the lotus is a basic motif during Diwali and designs like shankh kamal - shell lotus and thabak (which means salver) is in the shape of an eight-petal lotus with straight lines elaborated with curving lines to give it the appearance of a salver. In Gujarat there are said to be 1001 variations of the lotus which are drawn during Diwali, the festival when Goddess Lakshmi is worshiped.

The Diwali festival is marked by gaiety and prosperity all over the southern part of India. The rangolis drawn are basically geometric patterns formed with dots and lines to make squares, circles, swastikas, lotus, trident, fish, conch shell, footprints, creepers, trees and bear testimony both to individual genius and community participation as, many women work for days together on creating a single design.

Oil lamps or diyas are lit in these rangolis towards the evenings, creating a festive atmosphere.


Modern day innovations in rangoli

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.
