Welcome to our channel "easy_kolam"
In this channel we are teaching India's culture and traditions via kolam (Rangoli).
Rangoli
Rangoli, which means “an array of colours” in Sanskrit, is a traditional Indian art form dating back some 5,000 years to the pre-Aryan period. It is known as kolam in Tamil.
Rangoli 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 a rangoli at the main entrance will stop evil forces from entering the home. For these reasons, fresh rangoli may be drawn every day at the home’s entrance, with the old design cleaned off and replaced with a new one.
The art of rangoli 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.
