Holi rangoli: colour pots, pichkari and peacock

Rangoli for the morning of Holi, made in bright gulal at the door or in a school courtyard. Each design shows one subject: five clay pots spilling colour towards a flower, two crossed pichkaris inside a ring of marigold petals, or a peacock with its tail fanned into the colours of the festival. The drawn chart is easy to copy by hand. Type a different subject, such as a flower, and the same materials carry it.

• A rangoli at the door on the morning of Holi
• A design for a school courtyard or a community hall
• A copy-by-hand chart for a rangoli class
• A design to photograph and share on the day

Frequently asked questions

What materials are shown?

Bright gulal powder, flower petals and leaves, and a flat drawn chart with a limited palette of five colours.

Can a beginner copy the drawn chart?

Yes. It uses bold solid shapes and thin white lines between them, which show where each colour goes.

Can I ask for a different subject?

Yes. A subject you type is a request; the nine samples stay as 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.
