    Dear all
    This is picture of rangoli created by my better half

    Rangoli is one of the most popular art forms in India. It is a form of sandpainting decoration that uses finely ground white and coloured powders, and is commonly done outside homes in India.
    The term rangoli is derived from the words rang (colour) and aavalli ('coloured creepers' or 'row of colours').

    All commnets are welcome and much appreciated

    Its beautiful Harshad...it's outer boundary is an octagon and the mid area has four sides leading into a perfect circle of 360 degrees...what religious meaning or perhaps symbol is this, and what do the individual colors stand for? :cool:

    Harshad,

    She is very talented! Are the patterns created following traditional shapes or are they thought up by the artist?
