On this auspicious Diwali occasion wishing all followers, Readers and visitors a Very Happy and Joyous Diwali glowing with Peace, Prosperity and Good Health. May all the evil tendencies disappear forever from this world and let Supreme Peace prevail.
This year I drew quick Rangoli by using three different stencils. Most interesting part was 2$ shiny glittery sand paper like textured two pocket folder from Walgreens made a magical rainbow effect when I lit the earthen oil Diya / Panati. I cut the pocket folder in the center, used glittery part to draw rangoli and other plain shiny side used in the background to get rainbow color effect. Later I played around by using other folder side and few earthen diyas. I took few beautiful rainbow like glowing reflection design images. I was delighted to see the results and happy to share with you all. Scroll down to enjoy stencil Rangoli and Diya pictures with Rainbow color illuminations.
I liked the beautiful thought of diya artist
to carve "OM" in the center of the Panati.
Diya is reflecting Rainbow like streaks
over glossy pocket folder background.
Flat glass marbles added beautiful touch to the Rangoli.

It was nice creative fun to play around with diya and shiny pocket folder. Any light reflection on this glossy folder illuminated multiple color patterns. It was hard photographing glow free image of folder, I have taken the back side to show exact color and texture. I started with single diya, changed angles and added multiple diyas to get different illuminating designs and colors.All the following pictures are taken without using flash around 10 am.
[A] - Started with single diya placing on flat folder surface.
[B] I slightly curved folder from back side, pattern changed.
[C] - I captured morning sun's rays from window over folder,
focused it towards wall, see how it reflected like rainbow.
[D] - Added two more diyas, colorful reflection design changed.
[E] - Grouped three diyas in Triangle shape, this gave
beautiful multiple color glowing streaks all around.
[F] - same above pattern captured in vertical angle.
[G] - Diagonal composition of Diyas
[H] - Back side of the magical folder.
[I] - Front side of the illuminating magical folder.
[J] - Stencil Rangoli decorated with multiple oil diyas.
Happy Diwali.
