A Rangoli is a colorful design drawn on the floor near the entrance of a house to welcome guests. During Diwali, Hindus draw bright Rangoli patterns on the floor by their front door to encourage the goddess Lakshmi to enter their homes.
We began by using coloured pencils and sequins but the following week we took the next step and used dyed rice which although VERY messy was also lots of fun.
Take a look to see how we began by with design templates...
Then, came the real thing...WOW!
After lots of hard work and concentration, everybody was very pleased with the results.
Keep posted for what's to come next...
