The border form - a long band worked along the doorstep - is what most households actually draw, because it frames the entrance and does not get walked through. These are that shape, in wool yarn on a backed base, two to a set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRangoli is drawn on the floor at the threshold - traditionally in rice flour, coloured powder or flower petals, redrawn each morning of a festival. It is beautiful and it is a lot of work, and it is gone by evening. A rangoli mat is the same design worked in wool yarn on a backed base, so it goes down in seconds, survives being walked past, and comes out again next year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy a set of two\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause one is rarely the right length. Each mat is 3 feet long: one covers a standard single door, two laid end to end cover a double door or a wide hallway, and two facing each other frame a passage. Buying them singly would mean most people ordering twice, so we sell the pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich design\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePinkFlower\u003c\/strong\u003e - pink lotus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesiAllure\u003c\/strong\u003e - orange-red sunflower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElegantFlower\u003c\/strong\u003e - yellow sunflower with blue and pink accents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndianClassic\u003c\/strong\u003e - orange, yellow and red scallop finished with red pompom tassels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou receive two mats of the design you choose, not one of each.

Choose one design and both mats in the set match, which is what you want if they are going end to end across one doorway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the pair laid end to end?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSix feet, which covers most double doors and a good stretch of hallway. Each mat is 3 feet on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpot clean with mild detergent and cool water, then let it dry flat. Do not machine wash and do not dry clean - wool yarn on a backed base is not built for a drum, and soaking will lift the backing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan people walk on it in shoes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is built to be walked past rather than walked on repeatedly in outdoor shoes. Treat it as floor decor rather than a doormat - it is not made to scrape grit off soles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I put diyas on it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly in a holder with a solid base, or on a small tray. Wool yarn will scorch and it will catch. Tealights in metal or glass holders are the safe version and they look better anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I put it outside the front door?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn a covered porch or an apartment landing, yes, and that is where a lot of them go. Not somewhere it will be rained on or sit in standing water. Bring it in after the festival and it will last years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill mine look exactly like the photograph?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe design will. Because the yarn is laid by hand, the density of the embroidery and the exact placement of the colours vary slightly from mat to mat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I store it between festivals?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoll it rather than folding it, pattern side out, and keep it somewhere dry. A folded crease in the yarn takes a while to drop out; a rolled one does not form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if it arrives damaged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShipping is insured. Photograph it, email contact@urliutsav.com, and we will replace it or make it right. Tell us your festival date in the same email and we will prioritise it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I return it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, within 30 days in original condition and packaging. Return shipping is arranged and paid by the customer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I order several?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes - these are ordered in multiples for temples, community halls and event setups.
