Diwali 2009

The rangoli I made this year at my place on Diwali. Wats special with it is that I made it on a piece on plyboard. I could sit on my dining table and make it in the afternoon itself............ and just placed it outside before Laxmi puja........ I call it portable rangoli !!!

This was at my neighbour's place........lovely........isn't it?

Few more made in the neighbourhood........

Diwali fever......

The most awaited festival of India......Diwali...... is here to come.....and like everyone I'm pretty excited about it. It's going to be my 2nd after marriage. My favourite activity on Diwali is to decorate the house with flowers and rangoli........ Here are some pics of rangolis that I have collected from various sources. Hope they inspire you and also help you to create patterns easily.

These are rangolis made with flowers by one of my friend Dhanisha.

I upcycled an old box to keep some goodies in it and gifted it to my mom-in-law.
