Very beatiful Designs from http://www.drikpanchang.com/rangoli/lakshmi-pada/rangoli-designs.html

Right now I am thinking how to process these Designs in Photoshop and Inkscape in order to print them out and to make my own Rangoli using just inking techique and colour pens!

My favourite Designs are NO. 4 and NO. 5.

By the way, these Designs are also very fit for everyday puja, not only for Deepawali!




I liked this Design very much

And this one is very much to my liking!








As for the natural colours, the following natural ingredients can be used:

White - Rice powder

Yellow - Turmeric powder, dals

Red - Sindoor/rose petals

Green - Mint leaves or
coriander powder

Orange - Marigold petals

Brown - Cinnamon powder, beans

Black - Mustard seeds

Blue - Lavender flower petals

Don't forget, that Rangoli can also be created from FLOWERS, NUTS, FABRICS, GLASS BEADS or just PAINTED ON PAPER.
