Raksha Bandhan rangoli: a giant rakhi, a puja thali, a ring of rakhis

On Raksha Bandhan a sister ties a rakhi on her brother's wrist, and families, schools and offices lay a rangoli for the morning. These nine show three subjects: a large rakhi with a jewelled rosette, a puja thali with a diya, and a ring of rakhis linked round a pink lotus. Each is drawn in gold-dust powder, on a school hall floor, or as a printed card. Type a twist, such as for brothers, to ask for it.

Frequently asked questions

What is a rakhi?

A decorative thread a sister ties on her brother's wrist on Raksha Bandhan. The rangoli shows one as a giant jewelled rosette.

What is the difference between the three styles?

Gold-dust powder outlines each shape in gold on a pale grey floor; school hall is bright primary colour on cream, simple enough to copy in an hour; gift card is pink and gold on navy with a gold border.

Can I ask for a different design?

Yes. Type it as a direction, such as with a lotus; 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.
