Rangoli is awesome fun.... even though u know it will be washed away soon. We had a wonderful artist have a rangoli of Radha Krishna at our wedding...it was unbelievable.

Ami's rangoli with flowers looks great... reminds me of all the kerala style onam rangolis

I just googled and read about Rangoli... I just love this... I would love to do something like this outside my work place on the day of my retirement party. Perhaps something pertaining more to native american culture. Thanks for this beautiful post!

I can't even begin to tell you how much I loved this post. It's so beautiful and I would love to see this on my front patio. You really brightened an otherwise gloomy winter day. Thanks!

Gorgeous yellow flowers and the rangoli is so pretty! It must have looked even better with the diyas lit.
