Diwali Homework- Rangoli Patterns!



Next week, many Hindu and Sikh families will be celebrating Diwali- this festival lasts for five days. Diwali is the festival of lights, which celebrates the triumph of good over evil. In St. George's Assembly we told the story of Rama and Sita and told our audience about some of the traditions of Diwali.

One of the special traditions is the drawing or painting of Rangoli patterns. Rangoli patterns are created on
the floor of homes and other buildings to welcome in visitors.  They are also thought to welcome the Goddess of Wealth. They are usually brightly coloured, with repeated shapes, often in flower or petal designs. Sometimes the patterns are made with coloured rice, grains or petals.
 

 
 
Here are some beautiful examples from around the world, that will help you with your homework. You will be designing your own Rangoli pattern  to celebrate Diwali.
 
 




 

I look forward to seeing your beautiful designs!
