A welcome rangoli design greets guests at functions, pujas and housewarmings. This 2.5 ft design has “Welcome” written in the middle, a flower garland across the top and a small kalash on each side. It takes about 40 minutes.
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1

Draw a 2.5 ft × 1.5 ft rectangle and write “WELCOME” in chalk across the middle.
Step 2

Draw a curved flower garland (toran) across the top, with mango leaves hanging from it.
Step 3

Draw a small kalash on each side of the word.
Step 4

Trace the letters in red, fill the garland orange and yellow, the leaves green, the kalash yellow, and outline in white.
Tips
- Place real marigold petals on the garland for a fresh touch.
- Write the word first so you know how much space is left.
