Rangoli is an Indian traditional art produced on the floor of households to mark something auspicious. The creation of rangoli near the doorstep is believed to welcome good luck; hence it is usually done on festivals or special occasions. Ancient scriptures and Puranas have also underlined the historical importance of the ritual. The art is believed to originate in the state of Maharashtra, from where it gradually spread to other parts of the country.
Rangoli designs are made especially during festivals like Diwali, Pongal, Onam, Dussehra, or special occasions like marriage, thread ceremony, or other religious events. The Rangolis created at these functions are much elaborate than the regular ones. Rangoli is present in various forms all over India, differing according to their practices, culture, and materials used. Hence known by different names too. No formal training is required to master this art, and family or friends can easily grasp it. Over the years, as tradition has let modern variations into it, it thrives in a more charismatic form in the current era. Tirumala Garments Training Center, based in Gurmatakal, Karnataka, is a skill development center approved by the Government of Karnataka. The center provides training to the local people. They are supervised and guided by senior artisans
