The Why and How of Making Diwali Rangoli
By Pooja Kumar
Diwali is the festival which brings a clean-
house movement along. People start
cleaning houses, offices, premises,
buildings, factories, shops and almost every
thing prior to arrival of the festival. Premises
are whitewashed and painted in attractive
colours, decorated with different types of
decorative items such as Torans, wall
hangings, lights, laces etc. Floors are also wiped, moped and decorated with different types
of Mandnas, laces, and Rangoli so that the entrances look live, elegant and welcoming to the
visitors. Diwali Rangoli is something that women enjoy doing very much and onlookers enjoy
looking at.
Why Make Diwali Rangolis - Diwali is known as the festival which brings happiness, harmony
and prosperity to the premises. It is said that the goddess of wealth MahaLaxmi visits your
house to shower wealth on this day. Thus it is deemed as important that one should make all
efforts to welcome the goddess hence draw Deepawali Rangoli at the door step or near
entrance. In India, under its traditional 'Atithi Devo Bhava' culture, guests are also regarded
as gods. There is a trend that people visit to each others houses with family to pay respect to
elders and meet everyone. Thus, Diwali Rangoli also a way to express your willingness to
receive guests. It shows that you want to welcome guests and are happy to receive them,
while also fetches attention and appreciation of passers by.
How to Make Diwali Rangoli - Earlier, in old types of kutcha houses, women used to draw
Mandnas (floral art) with white and red limestone liquid on the floor, which would last long and
looked elegant. But time has changed now. You will hardly find those traditional styles of hand
made Mandnas in houses now. There are new readymade stickers are available in the
market, which people generally use in their pucca houses now. But the Deepawali Rangoli,
which is drawn out of the house, at the side of entrance, is still made of some colour powders
which is made of white stones and dyed in different colours. First outline is drawn with the

2. white powder then colours are filled in the blank spaces. Some women, who are adept at it,
draw directly on floor, while others, who are not so used to of it, may use traces available in
the market. You only have to sprinkle Rangoli on the tracing paper and it will be drawn on the
floor dripping through the small holes. Then you can fill desired colours in it. You can also
seek help from some Rangoli books available in the market.
Diwali Rangoli has emerged as a professional art in India and even young girls are taking
much interest in this field. They even attend special classes to learn it. Many competitions are
organized on the occasion wherein these young girls and women show their talent of drawing
Diwali Rangoli and win exciting prizes.
