What is a rangoli?
Art at the door
A rangoli is a design made on the floor, often at the front door. At Diwali, families make one to welcome guests and good luck into the home. The word has rang in it, and rang means colour.
Made by hand
People pinch coloured powder or rice flour and let it fall in a thin line. To fill a shape, they sprinkle it.
Lines first, then colour
Many rangolis start with white lines. Colour comes after, often from the centre out. Ours grows one ring a day.
Questions
When is it?
The vote opens on 26 Oct. Painting runs from 1 to 8 Nov. Diwali night is Sunday 8 Nov.
Where do I take part?
In the Hinglish Vinglish app, on iPhone and Android. The rangoli has its own tab while the event is on.
How often can I paint?
One piece a day. Each day opens a new ring and a new colour, so come back every day.
What if I miss a day?
Your earlier pieces stay in the rangoli. Join again the next day.
I am new to Hindi. Is this for me?
Yes. It is made for beginners. Each day teaches one colour word, with audio, and the painting needs no Hindi at all.
