A border rangoli is a long strip of coloured powder laid along a threshold, a verandah edge, a stage or the foot of a wall, simple enough to repeat for metres. These nine show three repeating borders: marigold garlands with mango leaves, a chain of paisleys, and diyas with leaves. Each appears in fine powder, in flat colour and laid on a festival floor. Type a twist, such as red and gold, to ask for it.

  • a threshold or verandah edge for a festival
  • a stage border for a function
  • the foot of a wall for a wedding
  • a strip to repeat along a long floor

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the three styles?
Fine powder shows sharp grain-edged lines on a grey cement floor; flat colour is a graphic strip on cream with two repeats cropped at the edges; festival floor adds loose petals and tiny diyas on dark red oxide.
How long a strip does one design make?
Each picture shows a single strip with its repeat; a border is made longer by repeating the same motifs along the line, as the designs are built to tile.
Can I ask for a different colour or setting?
Yes. Type it as a direction, such as for a stage or peacock repeat; the request is drawn, and the result may differ from the nine shown.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
