Where you see Rangoli. .

How to give better shape. . ?

Dear friends. . First make rough sketch in paper with your thinking. . .Or you may buy some books for it, Now draw rough diagram on floor with chalk. . . Start to sprinkle the colourful powder from centre to periphery from you thumb and index finger,otherwise you will feel difficulty to put dust at central part. . . Mixing of the dust is an importent part. . . It brings reality to your art. .Add 3D effect. And theme of the Rangoli is soul of the art. . Without theme, Rangoli is colourless despite colour .Its importance, in reality is in competition. . . Where hundreds of the artists have diff. theme.

Dear friends any quarry in “Rangoli”.You may ask. .

Abhay

Dear friends here are some Rangoli of my life. .
