Rangoli ushers in luck
Ever wondered why rangoli is considered holy and pure? Do you know that this attractive Indian art is so powerful that it can directly influence the environment of your home.
Yes, when this blend of beautiful colours and shapes is made as per Vastu principles, it can help in bringing prosperity, happiness and joy in the family. It is because of this magical power that rangoli gets a special place in diverse Indian culture and tradition.
Traditionally, rangoli was made in almost every house on every auspicious occasion. However, with changing lifestyles, it has become rare and is made on a few major festivals like Diwali. On Diwali, entrances of houses are decorated with charming rangoli to welcome Goddess Lakshmi. The belief is that if the rangoli at the entrance is not attractive, the Goddess would not enter the house.
But besides making an attractive design, it will be a good idea to know a few amazing facts that will make your rangoli not just beautiful, but also play a significant role in making this Diwali more joyful and promising.
You must have noticed that generally motifs or designs used for rangoli are taken from the natural surroundings like that of a peacock, swan, creeper, animal, flower, and footprints of god or goddess or holy symbols like swastik. Some even go for geometrical patterns like square, circles and triangle. The range of vibrant colours filled in these patterns and designs make them look more beautiful and attractive.
Interestingly, all these colours and shapes, as per Vastu Shastra, have the inane tendency to affect the subconscious mind of residents of the building in which a rangoli is made. Documented research on Vastu Shastra has proven that when rangoli is made in synchronisation with the characteristics of the five basic elements — water, air, fire, earth and space — it plays a significant role in balancing the flow of energies at home and can nullify ill effects of certain negative influences.
In some MahaVastu case studies it was observed that with inconsistent patterns and colour combinations, people faced unexpected and undesired outcomes like theft and fire accidents. This logic of shapes and colours applies to rangoli as well.
For example, when making rangoli in the West, prefer using golden and white colour with round shapes as it attracts more profits and gainful results of your efforts. Likewise, wave-like shapes in rangoli can help improve clarity of mind and get an individual out of confusion. Wavy shape also opens doors of new opportunities.
Rangoli that prominently uses oval shapes is a promise of growth in life. If a person’s life has become stagnant and growth in terms of career or wealth is getting restricted, he can make rangoli with lot of elements in oval shapes. Similarly, circles also attract money.
On the other hand, to enhance your level of confidence as well as sense of security, increase the number of triangles in your rangoli. The vibrations emanated by triangles in rangoli will kill your insecurities and give you the confidence to move ahead in life.
