Wanted to share this picture of the Sri Lakshmi Akshaya Patre Rangoli – also called Aishwarya Patra Rangoli (or Kolam).
In Hindu tradition, the woman is the epitome of godliness. She is considered the ultimate symbol of beauty and prosperity (Aishwarya is Sanskrit) – Goddess Lakshmi herself.
She is Shakti who completes Shiva and together they form the Universe – ShivaShakti. This is depicted in the form of Ardhanareeshwara.
She is also celebrated in various forms as Mata – the supreme mother – Devi, Maheshwari, Lakshmi, Saraswathi, Lalitha, Durga, Chamundi – the all-powerful protector and conqueror of evil.

In fact, I feel it goes beyond the five senses and touches my soul.
As I gaze on and on at this amazing piece of creative art that is Rangoli, I am bathed in a glow of incredible peace and well-being.
The flowing lines and vibrant colors seem to have a therapeutic effect on me.
Is it the symmetry? Is it my penchant for order? The repeating patterns of lines and curves have a calming effect on my nerves…
The two sides of my brain – the left with its logical thinking and reasoning abilities, and the right with its intuitive abilities – seem to get balanced when I am creating, looking at Rangoli.
I feel centered, emotionally stable.
Rangoli, true to its meaning being associated with color and cheerfulness, with its symmetry and visual appeal, has a rejuvenating effect on me.
I am enamored by this Sacred Geometry, I am enraptured by this Divine Art of Rangoli.
Drawing Lakshmi Kubera Rangoli as shown above is said to bring wealth and prosperity to the home.
Lakshmi Kubera Rangoli is to be drawn only in the Puja room or in front of the Tulasi plant, and should not be drawn outside the house or in front of the main door where people might walk over it.
For the yellow and red colors, turmeric powder (arisina or haldi) and kum kum powder are used.
Since it is considered holy, while cleaning it, a cloth should be used and not a broom.
May the beautiful Lakshmi Kubera Rangoli blring good luck, riches and unlimited prosperity to your homes…
