When we talk about decoration everybody thinks festivals and dedicated festival “ganesh chaturthi” which is popular for decoration, everywhere India mostly in Maharashtra, goa and Karnataka where decoration is awesome art which promote lord ganesha globally from home or group (sarvajanik   mandals). Actually Term decoration is old Decorative art concept every Indian well versed with that.
Decoration is not a just art its great trend for today. Professional decorators make it with great concept of decoration through ideas, creativity, and just imagination. Attractive decoration done through thermocol design patterns, colorful clothes, flowers which are fresh or artificial and decorative lights. The attractive decorations are the main part of the ganesh chaturthi celebrations so everyone choose specific concept for gorgeous decoration.

Makhar is the titled name for lord ganesha decoration specially. Some common structure like temple and sinhasan are most preferable makhars with different shapes and size for home ganesha decoration during festival. Like home ganesha festival, group or community (sarvajanik   mandals) ganesha is also popular all over India. Community people decorate their houses and area by lighting rangoli and other things like fancy materials where ganesh idol placed.
City where community ganesha is most preferable thing, so most of people in Maharashtra choose the village for celebration of lord ganesha with all family.i’am also from joint family and from my experience it’s really great festival for me than other celebrations. In my village, decoration mostly made up by colorful clothes sheets and thermocol patterns with lighting which give appealing look to makhar. My makhar made by thermocol patterns all time from last decade. My decoration come up great creations and imagination and my big brother is actual decorator who make awesome creation of makhar every year with unique concepts. We all are just work like helpers for that creation but we satisfied with that because we are also part of that creation which makes happy and enjoyable celebration of festival ganesha chaturthi for me and my family every year.

Draw Rangoli, Mehandi on hand and wearing a saree on great occasion, are great art form which traditionally done by women in india.



Rangoli is the ancient folk art from India. It is the art of drawing images, design on the floor or any type of plain surface. Although Rangoli has its origins in Maharashtra, today it practiced all over the country, with different names like   Rangoli in Maharashtra, Kolam (in South India), Alpana (in Bengal) with common reason.
In India There is a tradition of designing a new rangoli everyday near the main entrance of the home. Rangoli designs are popular in Maharashtra, are rich and colorful.  It is the symbol of spreading warmth and joy. Rangoli basically made on During Hindu festivals and auspicious day for welcome of guest, so it is also a sign of welcome.
It is not an easy to create rangoli by someone because it is an art and mostly done by Indian woman with great practice.
