When we sweep the floor, some lines are formed, which can harm us. We make a rangoli to get positive results after sweeping. In ancient times, our ancestors made vastu shanti rangoli at the house’s entrance or the kitchen with rice powder to eliminate insects. This was done so that the insects could get their food. After having the food, they did not go to the other kitchen areas. We should use bright colours to make a rangoli go in the right direction. This can bring you prosperity and success.
