Rangoli is woven tightly in our any celebrations, but Diwali
witnesses the utmost use of it. It brings the beauty and wonder of Diwali into
our home. It is a center of festival celebration, where I slow down and gaze
every time I pass by to remind myself that we are in the middle of a very
special time of year.
In our part of the world, weather
is a constraint and we lack gracing our actual entrance, hence
the rangoli, like every year, is placed
indoor where it creates an instant impact.
As a true ‘Ganesha’ fan, we also happen to have a perpetual love
of his presence in every décor and style we follow. This year’s rangoli is not
an exception. Since tackling the dusty rangoli colors is not my forte, we use
two simple ingredients (rice and food colors) to make our rangoli every year. To personalize the design, I threw in some craft mirrors in the design.
With a bit of effort and imagination we have learn to preserve
this tradition alive. It’s the time of the year where, we don’t only connect
with one another; we also tie with the past and cherished memories we have created
following this tradition.
My law “more is less” is especially apt when it comes to
Diwali lights. Stairs are the classic place to display lights, adding an unexpected
sparkle. And few scattering tea lights on the rangoli complete the overall effect.
Hope the series of Diwali posts were a catalyst in making your home
festive ready. As we wrap the last post of the festival, wishing you all a very
Happy Festivities at your end. May your home be filled with many memories of
the festival. Until we meet again, toodles.
