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 this one\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pattern is embroidered in raised wool yarn rather than printed, so it has real depth under a lamp and it does not flatten into a photograph of a rangoli. The base is backed to keep the mat flat and stop it sliding on tile or hardwood. Colours are the festival palette - yellow, red, pink, green and blue - and because each mat is embroidered by hand, no two are identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the only one of our rangoli mats that comes in 4 feet. Twelve extra inches of diameter is a bigger jump than it sounds - a 3-foot mat reads as an accent, a 4-foot mat reads as the floor treatment for that part of the room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3FT\u003c\/strong\u003e - $55. 36 inches across.

If you are unsure, mark the diameter out on the floor with tape first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is this different from drawing rangoli?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt takes seconds instead of an hour, it survives being walked past all day, and it comes out again next year. It is the reusable answer to rangoli stencils and powder.\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.
