Top 50 Latest Makar Sankranti Rangoli Muggulu Designs
Being basically an agricultural country, a common festival in India is the harvest festival. Bengalis call it Makar Sankranti, Punjabis call it Lohri, Gujratis call it Uttarayan and Tamils call it Pongal, Malayalis call it Onam. In this post we’ll discuss about the best rangoli designs that are made in South Indian households during Sankranti and Pongal which are known as Pongal Kolams and Sankranti muggulu designs respectively. It is the first day of the spring. This year Makar Sankranti will be celebrated on the 14th January 2017. This is the day all the south Indian houses will be decorated with flowers, diyas, colours, sugarcanes, pulses, rice and rangoli patterns at their doors.
Festivals are an integral part of India. The Land of Festivals- that is what India is commonly known as. There’s a popular Bengali saying which goes as-“Baro mashe tyaro parbon”, which means in India there are thirteen festivals in twelve months. The first thing that comes to a person’s mind when festivals are mentioned is of course holiday from work, lazying at home or an outing with family and friends(whatever that person prefers). The first thing that comes to a normal woman’s mind is shopping for new clothes(only shopaholics will understand).
But festivals are a lot more than just holidays and new attire. Festivals mean colors, new clothes, guests at home, gourmandish savoring of festive delicacies, hullaballoo; in short lots of enjoyment. Simple rangoli designs are made using dots and lining them with colours. Women especially love to make muggu designs at their schools, colleges, offices and homes. Most schools organize rangoli competitions for the most creative muggulu designs for sankranti. And I’m here listing some of the winning rangoli patterns to help you win at these competitions! These are easy, simple yet unique in their own. Also these latest kolam designs use dots, flowers, colours and diyas.
Pongal is four-day long harvest festival celebrated in Tamil Nadu. For as long as people have been into farming, there has been some for of harvest festival. The Pongal Kolams that are made as a part of cleaning and decorating the house, traditionally depict the various aspects of the Pongal festival, their beliefs and their rituals. But these days other colourful Kolams are also made as people like going beyond traditional barriers. Below is a list of 50 most beautiful south Indian rangolis:
