Rangavalli Muggu in Telugu, Rangoli in Kannada and Kolam in Tamil is an Indian pattern based on mathematical grid structures, used to make a form of sandpainting for religious festivals. There is a symmetry to the designs and they are used in handicraft and stitching as well as in gardens and on ground using flour or patterns or designs were once created using rice flour. Holding a handful of flour in their right hand, the woman will uniformly drop the flour to make a line through her thumb and pointer and keep on moving her hands to make the curve or the dots. Nowadays, women use powdered stones. (Stone is crushed and sold commercially).
