Rangoli Making has been an essential part of Diwali celebrations in our country. Although Diwali is a festival of lights, the Rangoli colours play a big role in bringing out the festive spirit during these celebrations. Therefore, to promote this traditional art form amongst our students, an Inter student Rangoli making and Diya making and decorating competition was conducted in Shree H.J Gajera School, Utran on the 7 th November 2022. Students from classes 8th and 9th were selected and they had to make a Rangoli based on the theme of Diwali, in a time duration of 1 hour .
The children had pre-planned their patterns and had come prepared with all the materials, they required for making them. Some selected colors were provided to the teams just before the competition and the challenge was to creatively incorporate the given colors in their design which added a slight twist to the competition and encouraged the students to think in an innovative manner. The criteria for the judgment were the selection of the design, neatness, clarity, color combination, and creativity or new ideas implemented by the students to make their design more presentable.
The participants won this competition by a good margin. They scored the highest marks in overall presentation and neatness. They had made beautiful motifs and their artistic use of vibrant colors and Diyas to enhance their design was quite appreciated by the judges.
All the teams put in their best efforts and after the competition, the school lobby was sparkling with such beautiful use of colors and designs which added to the festive galore. Organizing such events helps students to remain in close touch with their culture. This Rangoli-making competition motivated the students to perform and outshine their creative skills and most importantly, work as a team to bring laurels to their relationship.
Students of class have decorated their classes for the Class Decoration Competition.
