The Reason Behind Rangoli Will Surprise You…
It is the presentation of humanity…
When you visit any Indian house, you will notice a nice picture drawn near the main door of the house. This picture is a rangoli, made by using different colours so that it will attract the visitors of the house and they will feel positive while entering the house.

You will be surprised to know that in ancient times, the material used for rangoli was rice flour which is different from the material used at prem time.
The houses were decorated with rangoli drawn from rice flour and the colours were made from the natural colors like turmeric mixed with rice flour to decorate them.
This rice flour rangoli was eaten up by the ants, crickets, and similar creatures which are consistent visitors of the house. So, to welcome all the creatures…
