<holidayfyi-glossary slug="rangoli"></holidayfyi-glossary>A traditional Indian art form of creating colorful patterns on the floor using powdered colors, rice flour, or flower petals, made during Diwali, Onam, Pongal, and other festivals to welcome deities and guests. Each region of India has a distinct style: kolam in Tamil Nadu uses geometric rice flour patterns, while Rajasthani rangoli incorporates bright mineral pigments and elaborate imagery. Rangoli is considered an auspicious art form that brings prosperity.
