Sanskar Bharti rangoli: lotus and conch, sun of rays, kalash with peacock feather

Sanskar Bharti rangoli, the freehand style of Maharashtrian households and procession teams, poured from the fingers in bold symbols for Gudi Padwa, weddings and Ganpati. The three designs are a lotus of thick strokes with a conch above it, a round sun with curling rays, and a kalash with a peacock feather. Each comes in white powder alone, in white with red fills, and in full colour. A different symbol can be typed in as a request.

• a doorstep for Gudi Padwa
• a wedding entrance
• a Ganpati courtyard or procession
• a freehand practice for a rangoli class

Frequently asked questions

What makes this freehand rangoli different?

It has no dot grid. The powder is poured from the fingers straight onto the floor, so the shapes are bold and open.

Why white powder on a dark floor?

White shows clearly on a dark floor, and the three finishes here are all drawn on dark ground.

Can I ask for a different symbol?

Yes. Type the symbol you want. A new symbol is a request, not a promised result.

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.
