Rangoli: The work of Indian sacred knot

When people think of the design work node that comes to mind is usually grounds for England Celtic and Scotland. Like most people, nothing about the organization of working knots out of the Buddhist culture and Hindu India, a month before he in the southern city of Chennai.

Hiking in the early morning, I think, prepare complex node types work meal free hand in the street in front of the houses. First, my question was how these drawings, so often in the Celtic Knotwork finally in India?

These manuscripts were considered Rongoli art, which is known, a combination of two words: "Ranga" means God and "Oli", ie they must meet. A devout Hindu friend told me that the patterns were a victim and now a wittier of worship, not only for the gods, but also for the birds that feast on the meal patterns during of the day.

The tradition is very old. Hindu epics thousands of years to describe the cities, where Rangoli is with camphor powder or colored stones. One myth tells how a woman was Rangoli pictures of flowers so realistic that attracts the bees.

The drawings were very careful with red earth and painted with milk in a cast Water containers. The ability to produce these drawings, are considered so important that a law that seeks above all, a daughter-in-law to impress her new mother-in-law. Even now days, maybe have a little fun, the competition between house holds.

The technique seems simple but actually requires skill, as is the Hands free. Sometimes I think people are really doing drawings. Rangoli images from a series of dots that are placed in a particular configuration. Tie lines, images . Create

I have the work of the nodes, the geometric and floral shapes they had seen. I found that it is also common during the holidays as a representative of Hindu iconography the shell, the lotus, or sacred Sanskrit literature. In Rajasthan, in the northwestern part of India, Rangoli pictures on the handles of swords and knives engraved on Rangoli Animals in the coconut shell can be removed as a gift found and used at weddings. In many cases, slim, since it only a general scheme that does not color in the Images shown to the abstract.

From the perspective quite different from Rangoli designs can be viewed as a mandala. Mandalas are sacred, archetypal symbol is sometimes called Objects of Consideration used in practice esoteric meditation. The basic idea is that the zig-zag, circle, triangle or any shape is believed to impact on the awareness have. Among the more mandalas are made by the Tibetans, put some tracery, above all, the endless knot is a well known Buddhist symbol for eternity. Tibetans spend A few days in detail the creation of mandalas in the sand before cleaning solemnly from the image.

Although the law creating these models in the domestic and ritual in layers of meanings deeply rooted in the cultures used, it is safe to say that Rangoli teaches respect and the transience of human experience. Beauty of the moment, sunrise and the day comes and goes. Rangoli by the end of the day, I spent the morning would be a faded shadow of its former glory.

As someone who is fascinated by the symbolism of Celtic design, from my visit to India has helped me to see how the work of the universal design node. For me, art is seen to produce the road is an exciting and beautiful experience that allowed me a deeper understanding of a fascinating culture.
