Lotus Rangoli

Rangoli
Rangoli with multi lines and few colors.

Various day to day colored powders like indigo used for cloth staining, spices like turmeric,chilli, rice flour, flour of wheat etc. can be used. Powder colors can be simply mixed into the base or sometimes water is used to mix the colours & sandstone powder and then dried.Some fine filter mash (those used for flour or tea )is used to extarct the fine rangoli powder .Some artists can make the Rangoli which looks like a painting/ poster.(see the rangoli paintings in another post).Sprinkling powder by hand is a very laborious and difficult process but it gives immense pleasure to the artist after the completion of rangoli painting.
