Lotus Kolam

Rangoli
Rangoli with lotus and rose design

Designs are set out to occupy a square, rectangle or circle to show marked protection from all sides. In the olden days, rangolis were made with rice flour and grains. The main idea behind this was to feed the ants, birds and animals as one's good deed of the day.  

Colors signify
  • RED strength and energy
  • YELLOW richness.
  • GREEN harmony and balance, nature.
  • BLUE vastness and happiness, peace
  • ORANGE sacrifice.
