The art of creating colorful and appealing designs on the floor,
Rangoli, made from petals, vermillion, flour, paints or powdered rice.
Women decorating a courtyard, an entrance in life's colors
In geometric patterns, motifs, simple aesthetics appealing to the eyes.
A part of folk art, folk lore, among the many stories that go,
The son of a priest was from death revived,
As Brahma with mercy breathed into his image,
And through a colored canvas on the floor, bestowed him with life.
Auguring good luck, a symbol of happiness, gracious hospitality
As with the break of morning, a new day starts,
With paints, powder or petals, that draw figurines, peacocks
Flowers, candles, ...a woman's very own everyday art.
On the threshold of a house like a bridge that binds
Connecting what's out with hearts within
A glimpse into the culture of a home,
And all the love that a hearth brings.
Pink, green, blue, red or white..hues, wet and dry
The colors celebrate the shades that life imbibes
And as the colors wash, blow, wither and disappear,
A subtle reminder of the impermanence of life.
