Weekend Reflections- Floating Rangoli

It is usual in South Indian homes to have a bowl full of water with flowers floating in it , kept at the hallway near the entrance. It denotes welcome and cheer.
This is a floating rangoli in my frog pond .

Welcome to my blog. James at http://newtowndailyphoto.blogspot.com hosts Weekend Reflections every week.

    Such a wonderful idea ... yours looks lovely! How on earth do you place the rangoli on the water lily leaves?

    I didn't know that you could do a rangoli on the water lily leaf :-D It's a pleasant surprise for me this morning. And that bowl of water with flowers... is pretty!

    I like this flower tradition very much. I, too, often float blooms in water - I like melding the two elements, one supporting the other.

    Sylvia and J Bar: Thanks for your comments.
    Bernie, I used some small berries and flowers for the Rangoli.
    Stephanie, any natural thing can be used to make a rangoli picture.Floating rangolis are made in Kerala on special occasions.
    College Gardener, Radha : Thanks for taking time to leave a comment.
    Barb, I hope you will show us your flower picture some day.

    I like the Rangoli customs. The floating flowers as welcome are very pretty. I think I will copy it for a centre piece for the dinner table.
