Hi All!!! I opened my Rangoli Exhibition at Paddington Library, 45 Porchester road, London on 27th October, 2007. The exhibition will continue till 3rd November 2007. Rangoli is a beautiful art from India. Its made on Diwali to welcome the goddess of wealth Laxmi. I have made these rangolis only using my thumb and first finger with sand colours. I am glad it has been successful so far. The people need to know this art and appreciate as its beautiful and rare art which can not be seen in UK that often. It took me 54 hours to do 7 designs. I hope you all would like it.
