The Art of Rangoli

A workshop conducted in conjunction with the exhibition Past-Present: Craft Communities in Contemporary India

One of our members Niran had recently attended a Rangoli workshop that was held at NUS Museum.

It was conducted by Mrs Vijaya Mohan who started learning Rangoli in Trichy, Tamil Nadu, India, at the age of five. She then moved to Sinagpore in 1993 and ever since has done thousands of Rangoli workshops here.

Niran had a fun time learning how to draw intricate designs using dry, coarsely ground rice flour placed between the thumb and the forefinger and moved along a geometric design on the ground.

Below are photos of Niran's Rangoli !
