Method:
- Take a steel thali and trace a design of your choice on it using chalk. You can use a festive design that includes symbols such as an Om or swastik, a kalash or flowers.
- Fill in the design using flowers. Traditionally, marigold flowers and leaves of the mango tree are always used in Diwali decorations.
- You can also decorate your thali using coloured pulses. Use moong dal (yellow colour), masoor dal (orange colour), moong gram (green colour) and udad dal (white colour) to fill in the design. To ensure that the pulses don’t run into each other, you can use glue to hold the pulses in place.
- You could also use different rangoli colours and place a coloured diya in the centre of your thali.
- If you want to be experimental, decorate your thali with poster paints. You can use as many colours as you like and paint a new thali for every day of Diwali.
