Rangolis are a big part of Indian culture and can also be called Alpana, Aripoma, or Kolam. Particularly at Diwali time you will see many houses have a colourful Rangoli at the entrance of their home. Rangoli said to derive from 'Rang' and 'Aavalli' means row of colours. Rangoli is a colourful symmetrical design made mostly from coloured powder and rice. The lotus pattern specifically is said to welcome Goddess Lakshmi.
When kids are young though this can become very messy so to introduce the children in your life to Rangolis check out 108 Puzzles' bright and colourful 26 piece Rangoli jigsaw puzzle with a peacock at its centre. 7.25 inches in size (over 18cm) when complete it'll be a beautiful addition to your Diwali, Janmashtami or home decorations and the kids will feel involved in the celebrations also.
While 26 pieces, the circular pattern and symmetry makes it trickier to put together, we therefore recommend this puzzle for ages 5+ depending on their puzzle ability.
