Diwali 2024 will be observed on Friday, November 1. Also known as the Festival of Lights, it is one of the most celebrated Hindu festivals in India and around the world. It symbolises the victory of light over darkness and good over evil, commemorating Lord Rama's return to Ayodhya after defeating the demon king Ravana. The five-day festival is marked by lighting oil lamps (diyas), bursting firecrackers, exchanging gifts, and offering prayers to Goddess Lakshmi for wealth and prosperity. Families come together to decorate their homes, prepare festive sweets, and share joy and happiness during this auspicious occasion.

Incorporating marigold flowers into Rangoli designs is both artistic and eco-friendly on the auspicious occasion of Diwali. Arranging flower petals in circular or symmetrical patterns creates a stunning visual effect, blending traditional design elements with the beauty of nature. Marigold petals can be combined with other flowers like roses and chrysanthemums or paired with coloured powders to add dimension and texture. This floral Rangoli not only looks beautiful but also symbolises prosperity and joy, key themes of the Diwali celebration.

Marigold Rangolis are versatile and easy to create, making them ideal for both beginners and experienced artists. They can be crafted in simple designs with just a few flowers or in elaborate, intricate patterns depending on the occasion. Beyond their aesthetic appeal, marigolds are considered sacred in Hindu culture and are often used in religious ceremonies. When used in Rangoli designs during Diwali, they carry a deeper meaning, representing divine blessings and ensuring a joyful and prosperous year ahead. Wishing everyone Happy Diwali 2024!
