A rangoli at the door makes a home feel welcoming every day. Of all simple rangoli designs for home, this one is a favourite: 1.5 ft wide with an eight-petal flower and a scalloped border. It takes about 15 minutes.
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1

Draw a circle about 4 inches wide and eight pointed petals around it.
Step 2

Draw a bigger circle around the flower and turn its edge into scallops (small half-circles).
Step 3

Fill the petals orange, the centre yellow and the scallops purple.
Step 4

Add green leaves between the petals and outline everything in white.
Tips
- Sweep and sprinkle a little water on the floor first so the powder sticks.
- Change only the colours each day for a fresh look with no extra effort.
