As Diwali approaches, markets in Navi Mumbai are abuzz with a vibrant collection of rangolis, showcasing the festive spirit in all its glory. The offerings range from traditional dot patterns to contemporary designs, catering to the evolving preferences for decorating homes during the festival of lights.

Traditionally, rangoli designs were crafted using dots that formed intricate patterns, but modernization has transformed the art form. Today, a variety of ready-made materials make the process easier and more accessible. Items such as rangoli prints, pens, footprint stencils, and paper templates are widely available, with prices ranging from Rs. 30 to Rs. 500, enabling effortless decoration.

Pre-colored rangoli powders in hues like blue, green, red, saffron, and pink are in high demand, selling for Rs. 50 to Rs. 60 per kilogram. The market also features diverse ready-made rangoli prints, including square, circular, and even large two-feet designs. Alongside traditional rangoli patterns, modern styles like Sanskar Bharti, calligraphy, and leafy motifs are becoming increasingly popular.

Rangoli books are also sought after, offering designs from simple five-dot patterns to complex 30 to 40-dot configurations. These books cover various styles, including traditional and Sanskar Bharti, making it easier for people to draw intricate patterns.

For those seeking a quick and mess-free option, sticker rangolis are a popular choice this Diwali. These printed stickers, available from Rs. 10 for small designs to Rs. 300 for larger ones, can be easily applied and include traditional motifs such as Lakshmi's feet and decorative torans. Additionally, 3D rangoli with stone embellishments is gaining popularity this season, adding a touch of sparkle to festive decorations.
