It's fun riding on a weekend in the Bandra Kurla Complex when the pedestrians and vehicular traffic is at its minimum.
Rangoli is an art form originating in the Indian
subcontinent, in which patterns are created on the floor or a tabletop using
materials such as powdered lime stone, red ochre, dry rice flour, coloured
sand, quartz powder, flower petals, and coloured rocks. It is an everyday
practice in Hindu households, however the colours are preferred during
festivals and other important celebrations as it is time consuming. Rangoli are
usually made during Diwali or Tihar, Onam, Pongal, Sankranthi and other Hindu
festivals in the Indian subcontinent, and are most often made during Diwali.
Designs are passed from one generation to the next, keeping both the art form
and the tradition alive. Wikipedia.
