Rediscovering my inner Picasso!

Today we have a puja(prayer) in our house. And as you know Hinduism is structured on polytheism so we have lots of gods and goddesses! Below I have attached pictures of 'Alpona' which has been done by me. The white solution is nothing but chalk-water. Then we draw patterns and figurines with it. This is a Bengali tradition. However, in India it's also known as Rangoli ( though instead of chalk water, colors are used)... Hope everyone has a wonderful day ahead!!! Is there any special occasion coming up in your house lately??

I have seen photos posted by another user of the Rangoli she and her daughter draw. This design is very pretty.

You must have a very steady hand to be able to draw such symmetrical patterns.
