Simple white rangoli designs for Diwali
I have shared these rangoli with colours elsewhere in this blog.
I am sharing them here so that you can colour them for Diwali festival according to your imagination.
You may also use them for vasal (entrance ) kolam if you are looking for some intricate designs
Some of you may be aware that I share rangoli videos on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram.
I share some interesting comments and feedback I get there on my blog.
Recently, I had this comment for one of my videos
"Coming here first time. Amazing ...authentic... alignment ....attractive....accolades pouring unto to you our dear artist . Purely divine utterly beautiful .
Background music also synced so divinely.....Lovely experience.....I love Rangolisansdots "
I have shared some of the adjectives that she used as an alliteration.
So far as background music is concerned I use Carnatic music provided by Facebook.
Alignment - I think she refers to symmetry. For symmetry we should practice without aids to attain near perfection.
Yes near perfection because with this technique we cannot be perfectly perfect.
A famous sitar maestro once said , " If I do not practice for one day , I know it. If I do not practice for a week , the accompanists know it. If I do not practice for a month the audience knows it. So I practice daily "
So practice is the secret for symmetry in kolam.
Circular rangoli image no. 1
Small rangoli without dots no.2
Using floral petals as the base and creating a kolam with various motifs , patterns is a popular type of without chukki rangoli designs. We can use 8, 16 or 32 petals. 64 petals are also possible . However 32 petal pattern is itself intricate for which we have to apply lots of concentration. Thin lines are required to ensure the pattern is compact.
Rangoli design no. 3 Complex may not be the correct definition for the pic shown below. Drawing small patterns with rangoli powder comes with practice.
