AMI CULT Club Conducted Rangoli Competition 2018
Rangoli originates from two words ‘Rang’ which means colors and ‘Holi’ which means celebration. Rangoli is an artistic celebration of colours. It is considered as one of the most enjoyable art that students can be engaged in. The cultural club of Amity, AMI – CULT, organized “Rangoli Making Competition”, on Diwali Eve to bring good luck, togetherness and celebration of this festival with colours.
Rangoli reflects traditions, folklore and practices that are unique to each era and region. The students exhibited their flair in the art by making beautiful Rangoli designs using geometric shapes, deity impressions and floral motifs. Rangoli colours, flower petals, and diyas were used to decorate the Rangolis.
The event was hosted by Ms. Jhelum Bhattacharya; organized and conducted by the President of Ami – Cult, Ms. Shivangi Mishra and Secretary of Ami – Cult, Ms. Sneha Suresh under the guidance of Dr. Shalini Singh. The judge for the event, Mr. Sudhakar Kalgutkar, blessed us with his authentic presence and enlightened the event with his past experiences and knowledge in artistic designs.
In total, 9 teams participated in the competition consisting of 2 – 4 people from different schools and departments. Group effort, team spirit and individual inputs in the form of planning, designing, outlining, analysing the colour combinations and presenting the final Rangoli made the day for the winning teams. The activity encouraged students to think and work creatively and promote artistic excellence.
The volunteers made sure that the auspiciousness and decorum of the event was maintained. A music system was also set up to attract the audience and also to keep the participants motivated.
