Diwali is not only a festival of lights but also of colors. When rangoli is made at the door of the house, it seems as if happiness itself finds its way to the house. This tradition is centuries old in India. It is believed that making Rangoli Designs is an auspicious sign of welcoming Goddess Lakshmi.

Every year people think of doing something new, some make floral rangoli, some make dots pattern, but due to lack of time many times the design remains incomplete. If you are also in a hurry but want the rangoli to be the most beautiful, then these 6 tricks mentioned below will be useful for you.

Freehand Floral Rangoli

Rangoli made of flowers always looks attractive and the most important thing is that it is made with natural petals instead of colours. First of all, clean a square or round area. Divide the marigold, rose and jasmine petals into three separate parts. Place a small lamp in the center and arrange flowers around it. Orange, yellow and white always look beautiful together. If time is short, cut the flowers in advance and keep them in a vessel. It will just take 5 minutes to decorate.

If you have molds, this design can be ready in minutes. First make small dots with rangoli powder. Then keep joining them with your fingers so that a round shape is formed. Keep a combination of red and yellow colors in the middle so that the glow of Diwali shines. If your hand trembles, you can fill the bottle with color and pour the color through a small hole, this will make the dots exactly the same.

Theme-Based Rangoli

Nowadays theme rangoli designs are trending a lot on social media. You can also decide the theme according to the decoration of your home like “Maa Lakshmi Padharo”, “Jai Ganesh”, or “Swagat Hai” theme. First make a basic sketch with white chalk. Then add different shades to each part. Make the letters a little thick so that the design is clearly visible even from a distance. You can make it more special by using glitter powder or pearls.

Minimalist Rangoli

If you find beauty in simplicity, then Rice Rangoli is perfect for you. Take a cup of rice and add different food colors to it. After drying, make simple patterns with these colored rice like peacock feathers, diya or heart shape. This design will be ready in 10 minutes and will give a neat look. This rangoli looks very beautiful on white marble or tiled floor.

Quick Rangoli with stencil

If you reach home late from office but also want to decorate your house, then stencils are best for you. Buy plastic rangoli stencils from the market or online. Place the stencil on the floor and slowly add color. After each layer, lift it and fill it with another color. The design will be ready in a few minutes. If you use glow colors, this design will shine like light at night.
