  • Meet Rahul Swami - India's fastest Rangoli artist. Rangoli, a traditional Indian art form, involves creating beautiful patterns on the ground or tabletops using various materials like powdered limestone and colored sand. More than just decoration, Rangolis symbolize good luck and prosperity, often adorning the entrances of homes to welcome guests and celebrate festive occasions like Diwali, Onam, and Pongal.
    With over forty thousand unique Rangolis, Rahul has never pre-planned a single design nor repeated any. His extraordinary talent lies in his ability to spontaneously create intricate patterns. He also has set staggering records, including creating one Rangoli over an area of 24,000 square feet - roughly the size of 4 to 5 basketball courts - in a mere 13 hours. Earning him a place in the Limca Books of World Records.
    Join us in celebrating Rahul and the Rangoli art form on Great Big Story.

    The style he practices is often referred to as Sanskar Bharti, which is a Maharashtra based NGO who promoted this style of rangoli. The artists would use sieves to fill in the background colors first, followed by using the base of the palm or end of fingers to release the white marble powder as shown in the clip. It takes a lot of practice to get consistent with the thickness of these strokes, but an easy hack for beginners is to use ketchup bottles to make these patterns with relative ease.

    They also do this in buddhist tradtions with colored sand. They spend hours or days making complex patterns just to blow it away when its completed. I think they do it because it takes a very meditative mind to place each grain of sand, and no matter how beautiful or intricate it is it will still be blown away, which represents the temporary nature of our world. There is no reason to cling to the attachment of that beauty, because it will never last, but will always return.

      That tradition has come from Hinduism only. Buddha was hindu price. We call ourself dharma followers aka Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism followers. British colonisers name all these as seperate religion. But for dharmic followers we visit each other's temples as our own. Rangoli traditions comes from Hinduism india. Just like karma, mokshya, yoga etc. which later down when other religious came adopted it as own too

    Very nice content FYI Rangoli is a Persian word which means (Rang = color) (goli = flowers) hence colorful flowers. When you see the art it usually is a shape of a flower and colorful
