What is rangoli? It is an art that is very temporary in that it is drawn on the floor using either powders or dyes or colored chalks to form a pattern. This is something that is drawn in the Indian subcontinent as a gesture to welcome the gods and guests who come to their home during festivals. Each rangoli is drawn with patterns that are specific to the festival or the occasion for which it is created.  Some people even use other things like flowers or grains to create rangoli designs on the floor. While a rangoli is not that difficult to master, it is not all that easy either unless you know the ground rules.
