Almost every religion
has a special festival celebration. Hindu religions are no exception of them.
Rangoli is one of the special parts of their religion which is done on Diwali.
Rangoli is the process of furnishing the pattern with different types of colors
which make them colorful, attractive, and gorgeous. Rangoli is done to welcome
the Hindu goddess of wealth, Lakshmi, in the belief that it will bring good
luck in their life. Although it originated in India, it is celebrated in almost
all the places of the world where Hindu religious people are living. Rangoli
patterns are also done during Hindu festivals, special occasions, religious
celebrations, weddings, etc. Embroidery sectors use this Rangoli pattern for
enriching their sectors.

Places
Rangoli patterns can be
done on the floor in the front part (doorstep) of the house or on a board that
has the convenience of transferring from one place to another easily. Sometimes
Diya lamps are placed next to Rangoli which also increases its beauty. In
embroidery, it is drawn on the base cloth.
Designs of the Rangoli
Based on the size, the
Rangoli pattern may be small or large. Sometimes competition among various
Rangoli groups is occurred to determine which group has made the big-sized
Rangoli.
Most of the time
Rangoli has mirror-like structures but it also includes feature like flowers,
natural animals, and images which is done with the help of a single line and
curved line. The symmetry of the designs presents fortune, wealth, and
success.

Types of Rangolies
- Easy rangolis: This
type of rangolis was performed by the ancestor which is easy to do. In
this, some simple designs are done with simple colors.
- Intermediate rangolis: These types
of designs are larger and difficult to do because dimensional physical and
mathematical expressions are used in a complex and curved way.
- Advanced rangolis: These
designs are done mainly for a special occasion which includes a specific
theme for the pattern. These designs are more attractive and fascinating
in look.
Colors for Rangolis:
Almost all types of color (bright &dull) are used for Rangoli designs. But, bright-colored designs look more attractive and eye-soothing. Rangoli Color Set Combo is Green, Yellow, Dark Violet, Pink, Peacock Color, Sky Blue, Luminant Green, Violet, Brown, Light Green, Red, Orange, Mango Yellow, Dark Green, Dark Pink, etc. Embroidery with these colored threads also gives a colorful appearance to the Rangooli designs. Sometimes, small to large mirrors, silk tassels, cowries shells, silver spangles, glass beads, ribbons, and coins are frequently used in Rangoli embroidery work to give it a shiny aspect that attracts people's attention.
