Diwali Rangoli Patterns WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Complete the rangoli patterns to form some interesting designs with rotational symmetry. Rangoli is an art form that originates from the Indian subcontinent, in which patterns are created on the floor or a tabletop using materials such as powdered limestone, red ochre, dry rice flour, colored sand, quartz powder, flower petals, and colored rocks. Throughout Diwali, Hindus draw bright Rangoli patterns on the floor, near the front door to encourage the goddess Lakshmi to go into their homes. The name even comes from 'rangavalli' which means color. There are some blank templates for learners to design their own patterns.
