In our busy lives we want
every small thing to be easily accessible and which can be used effortlessly.
Even in case of making rangolis we find easy ways to make it. Rangoli is a traditional Indian art form often associated with all festive
occasions.
A Rangoli is a brightly colored design
created using different materials such as colored powders, seeds and grains,
sand, rice, flower petals, pencils, pens and paint. Rangoli is an expression of the creative self, often viewed as a form of
self-portraiture. Designs are composed of geometric and curvilinear patterns,
usually derived from nature. After the Rangoli is complete, the image is simply
allowed to blow away with the wind – serving as a metaphor for the impermanence
of life. Rangoli designs are both decorative and symbolize a warm
welcome and good luck. Rangoli art is an adornment or decoration. In
Maharashtra, rangoli are drawn on the doors of homes so that evil forces
attempting to enter are repelled.
Initially rangoli was hand drawn using rice
flour and natural colors that is color made from flowers, vegetables, barks of
trees, leaves, etc. Hence rangoli was said to be derived from nature. Then
there came the era of rangoli powders or colors which were manufactured using
various elements with chemicals in them and stickers which are still in use.
Now OHP rangolis are coming up as a new
trend. OHP rangolis are rangolis made on plastic transparent sheets with beads,
cut-out mirrors and other decorative elements. OHP rangolis are also known to
be 3D rangolis. Made in transparent plastic OHP sheets these rangolis are
proving to be a perfect way to celebrate all the festivals, decorating the home
with beautiful rangolis. These rangolis are durable and easily portable. We are
in so hustle and bustle that we don’t have time to sit and make a rangolis with
perfect color combinations and attractive designs. Thus, OHP rangolis make a
perfect alternative for our regular rangolis. OHP rangolis can be arranged the
way we desire. We can create our own designs with the rangolis and make our
home more auspicious during festive.
