Tools and Raw Materials

The tools and raw materials that are used for Rangoli are as follows:

• Pise Rice Solution: It is used in preparing rangoli powder.

• Burned Soil: It is used in making the mixture.

• Charcoal: It is added to the sand mixture for texture.

• Wood Sawdust: Sawdust is easier to handle and spread. It even floats on water.

• Coloured Rice: It can be used in the grain form or ground to a fine powder. Even grains are user-friendly due to their nature of easily absorbing food colour.

• Dry Flour: It is used as a decorative material.

• Flower Petals: Rose petals, marigold petals, small purple flowers, finely cut grass, fenugreek leaves, etc. can be used to fill up large designs. Strings of marigold, strings of crossandra (orange-coloured flower from South India), jasmine, etc. also are used to outline the rangolis.
