Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Rangavalli is a Sanskrit word which means a row or harmonious pattern of colors. An ancient art tradition of India, it continues to be celebrated all over India and is also referred to as Rangoli.

The above Rangoli was made by Hindu pilgrims at the ruins of Karpur Baoli. Similar decorations were made in other ancient sites on the Ramtek hill (Ramagiri, Sinduragiri) as well as inside the fort.

Rangoli is particularly common during religious festivals such as Diwali, and during major rites of passage such as Hindu weddings.
