Rangolijalle

Rangolijalle is a term sometimes used in informal contexts to refer to the artistic tradition of creating rangoli. Rangoli is a folk art form practiced in India and Nepal, involving the creation of intricate patterns on the floor or ground using materials such as rice flour, colored powders, dry rice, or flower petals. These designs are typically made during festivals, auspicious occasions, and celebrations to welcome guests and deities, and to bring good luck. The patterns are often geometric or floral, with symbolic meanings attached to different motifs. The practice is passed down through generations, with variations in style and materials found across different regions. While "rangolijalle" itself is not a formal or widely recognized term within academic or traditional discussions of rangoli, it likely stems from an attempt to describe the act or the collection of rangoli designs. The core concept, however, remains the art of rangoli itself, which continues to be a vibrant and cherished cultural expression.
