In this channel we are teaching India's culture and traditions via kolam (Rangoli).
Rangoli
Rangoli, which means āan array of coloursā in Sanskrit, is a traditional Indian art form dating back some 5,000 years to the pre-Aryan period. It is known asĀ kolamĀ in Tamil.
RangoliĀ is a multi-coloured floor decoration that symbolises wealth, joy, and prosperity, as well as thanksgiving to deities. There is also a Hindu belief that drawing aĀ rangoliĀ at the main entrance will stop evil forces from entering the home. For these reasons, freshĀ rangoliĀ may be drawn every day at the homeās entrance, with the old design cleaned off and replaced with a new one.
The art ofĀ rangoliĀ originated in India, where these decorative patterns have been drawn outside Indian homes and in temples for hundreds of years. The practice was brought to Singapore by Indian migrants who settled here.
