About Us

Hi, I’m Cinmoy — welcome to Rangoli Designs.

I grew up watching my mother and grandmother draw rangoli at our doorway every morning before sunrise. I used to sit on the steps and watch the patterns take shape, dot by dot, color by color. That daily ritual is where my love for this art form started, and it’s why I built this site: to collect the designs I’ve learned, tried, and photographed over the years, and share them with anyone who wants to bring a little of that tradition into their own home.

What You’ll Find Here

I write about the kind of rangoli I actually make and photograph myself — simple daily patterns, festival designs for Diwali and Pongal, dot-grid kolam, and the occasional 3D piece when I’m feeling ambitious. Every design on this site comes with clear, step-by-step instructions, because I remember how confusing it was to start out without any guidance.

You’ll find:

  • Easy designs for beginners — small, forgiving patterns that don’t need a steady hand or years of practice
  • Festival-specific ideas — designs sized and themed for Diwali, Pongal, weddings, and daily prayer
  • Step-by-step tutorials — the same process I use myself, broken down so you can follow along
  • Honest difficulty notes — I tell you upfront if a design needs practice, so you’re not surprised halfway through

Why I Started This Site

There are a lot of rangoli galleries online that are just image collections with no real instruction. I wanted something different — a place where every design comes with enough detail that you could actually recreate it, not just admire it. I test most of these patterns myself before writing about them, and I update this site whenever I learn a new technique or come across a design worth sharing.

A Bit About Me

I’m based in [YOUR CITY/STATE], and I’ve been drawing and documenting rangoli for [NUMBER] years. This isn’t a big team or a company — it’s just me, doing something I genuinely enjoy and trying to do it properly. If you have a question about a design, want to request a tutorial, or just want to share a photo of your own rangoli, reach out through the Contact page — I read every message myself.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you find a design worth trying.
