Diwali 2021: Simple rangoli designs to decorate your house this festive season

Diwali is just around the corner and people are gearing up to celebrate the festival of light with much fanfare. The streets are adorned with twinkling lights, houses are decked up with diyas, rangoli and there is an air of festivity all around, marking the arrival of the festival of lights-Diwali.

Along with the ethnic clothes, jewellery and preparation of traditional sweets and savouries, a big part of the celebration is making rangolis.

One of the most traditional art forms showcased during Diwali festival is Rangoli; which is drawn to bring good luck and prosperity in the house.

Rangoli has always been a symbol of religious and cultural beliefs and is believed to ward off evil. But, the most important reason for decorating rangoli outside one's home, is to welcome Goddess Lakshmi.

From flowers, peacocks, Lord Ganesha, Kalash to Radha Krishna, people decorate their flowers with endless rangoli ideas.

Diwali celebrates the triumph of good over and evil. In hindsight, it seems as though this year has been nothing short of a year of triumphs, a year where we didn't allow the consequences of the pandemic to crush our spirits.
