Simple easy rangoli design for Diwali

A collection of small n easy rangolis for daily use or if you are looking for such type of designs for Diwali or other festival you can bookmark these patterns 

I had shared a quick and easy rangoli trick for creating a colourful design with paper cups, thought it

 will be very useful for those who want to celebrate Diwali with a unique rangoli but are not familiar with the traditional method 

One of the comments for that video really made my day 

"Needed this for so long ma'am .... and yes, the rangoli with cups is sure going to make a hero in my new office ... will share something 

when I do something, you are teaching ....so proud to see a person at your age so tech savvy and utilising it for something to share knowledge "

Rangoli video tip - For a long time, I was using natural light for my rangoli videos. Sunlight in the evening after 4 pm was the best time for shooting videos because optimum amount of light is needed, it should not be too bright or dark.

This restricted by camera placement which resulted in shooting the kolam from one side.  One more issue was gentle breeze that disturbed the rangoli powder while drawing and after completion too, but I liked the natural sunlight and so I persisted for few years.  

Later, I started shooting from the front view with artificial light.  Many viewers like this but some of those following from the beginning were sceptical.  So far as music for the videos in concerned Facebook offers a collection of melodious songs that is royalty-free too.  I use only Carnatic music for my Facebook videos particularly in the ragas - Hamsadhwani, Revathi, Kambhoji, Dharmavathi, Yamuna kalyani, Jayantasri to name a few. 

The songs include Bo Sambho, Krishna Nee Begane Baro, Marugelara, Jagadhodharana (Please note that my knowledge of Carnatic music is limited to kelvi gnanam - my mother-in-law was a good at Carnatic music, I learnt a lot from her). This music suits my genre.  Followers like it.  

This beautiful option is not available on YouTube videos. I gave my feedback and requested the managers at YouTube.  Nowadays Carnatic music is available for short videos
