A Traditional Art Form Of India Called RANGOLI, On The Occassion Of Diwali!
Hello everyone! A very happy Diwali to you all.
Diwali is a major festival celebrated (this time on 7 November, 2018) by Hindus in India. All parts of India celebrate Diwali in a grand manner, which involves the following:
Deepa (a lamp made of mud)
Diwali is also termed 'Deepavali'; and since Deepa means a lamp signifying light, Deepavali means Festival Of Light. People light a deepa to bring positive energies to their homes, as well as to their thoughts.

Sweets
The idea of including sweets in this festival is to bring sweetness into not only people's mouth, but their lives as well! Sweets play such a major role that Diwali is also called as Festival Of Sweets. We exchange sweets with our friends and families. Kind of like how kids exchange trading cards!

Rangoli
(a design created on the floor using colored powder)
Pronounced rung-go-lee. Why a Rangoli? It has a sort of spiritual significance. In Hinduism, Rangolis are created on special occasions and religious ceremonies. But my main concern isn't why it's made, I just love creating it. :P
