What is griha pravesh?

The rite of entering a new home for the first time. This rangoli is laid at the door on that morning, before the family walks in.

What is the difference between the three styles?

First entry uses kumkum, rice flour and petals in bands on a new stone floor; modern home uses thin lines in sage and terracotta on grey tile; folk style uses thick hand-drawn lines and dots.

Can I ask for a different layout?

Yes. Type it as a direction, such as simple and small; the request is drawn, and the result may differ from the nine shown.

Housewarming rangoli: a kalash, a toran strip, a lotus with footprints

Housewarming rangoli — a large copper kalash with a coconut and five mango leaves, a red thread round its neck, flanked by two lit diyas and a ring of marigold-orange petals, laid on the morning of the first entry, kumkum, rice flour and flower petals each in their own band, a neat sacred look

The housewarming rangoli, or griha pravesh rangoli, is laid at the door of a new home on the morning the family first walks in. These nine show three blessing designs: a copper kalash flanked by diyas, a toran strip for the threshold, and a lotus with red footprints stepping inward. Each comes as a first-entry floor, a modern tile layout or folk art. Type a twist, such as with a cow, to ask for it.

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.
