Invitation to the Indian Traditions of Rangolis and Flower Garlands

All over India, flower garlands and rangolis have been made for many centuries. Although created in the present moment, they also are timeless and ephemeral, only lasting for a day. They are an expression of creativity coming from the heart.

These daily rituals are revealed in their simplicity, in-between the visible and the invisible, the external senses and the internal senses, the masculine and the feminine, the movement and the stability, the matter and the energy, the many and the one, the world and the self.

This book is an introduction to the practice of these imaginative rituals, presenting a continuous learning journey along the thread of creativity to self-discovery.
