About this Event
RANGOLI IS AN ART OF DECORATION DRAWN ON THE FLOOR OR THE ENTRANCES OF HOMES. IT IS THOUGHT TO BRING GOOD LUCK, PROSPERITY, AND TO WELCOME GUESTS. TYPICALLY RANGOLI IS TYPICALLY MADE OF RICE FLOUR, CHALK, AND SAND HOWEVER SOME PEOPLE ALSO MAKE GRAIN RANGOLI MADE OF DRIED MATERIALS SUCH AS RICE, LENTILES, AND BEANS.
IN HINDU PHILOSOPHY, IT IS A VIRTUOUS ACT TO LIVE IN HARMONY WITH NATURE AND ALL LIVING BEINGS. USING EDIBLE GRAINS FOR RANGOLI OFFERS FOOD TO ANTS, BIRDS, AND OTHER SMALL ORGANISMS, ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING WHEN FOOD MAY BE SCARCE. THE PRACTICE ALSO OFTEN HAPPENS DURING HARVEST FESTIVALS LIKE PONGAL, AND THE USE OF GRAINS REPRESENTS ABUNDANCE AND THANKFULNESS FOR THE HARVEST
