An intricate, temporary canvas to enliven celebration,
A festive adjutant to usher in abundance and elation!
As a cosmic connection, or an elemental representation,
Seeped in philosophy, Rangolis depict cyclical fruition!
Imbued with imagination, each uniquely beautiful to the core,
With colored grains or sand nimbly strewn on walls or the floor.
Rooted in heritage, intertwined with modernity and utmost care,
Behold the Rangolis—a visual delight, whether round or square!
With a Kolam lovingly drawn, welcome takes a vivid form,
As Muggu dots magically into myriad lively shapes transform.
Radiant Pookalams enrapture with their flowing floral motifs,
Dazzling Sathiya and Alpona – as though created on a sharp skeif!
Chowk Puran elevates squares into a vibrant, rich tapestry,
Mundane, yet dexterous Aripana venerates celestial majesty!
Using charcoal, turmeric, geru, organic saps or limestone white,
Complex Hase Chittara patterns attain pious, sacred heights.
Known for perfect symmetry and precision are Mandana lines,
While Rangavallis preserve not just folk art but are a ritual divine.
Each temporary Rangoli celebrates hope afresh and lasting devotion
It is an invocation for holy blessings beyond mere ornamentation!
