Rangolis are famous in Mauritius and connote much significance in the Telugu culture. They uphold spiritual, cultural and social aspects. Mr. Appadoo explains that “where the surface of Mother earth becomes the natural canvas and the human hands transformed into the natural brush, marvellous contours, lines, harmonious curves come to dance in ecstasy to the real feast of the eyes in the making of fabulous Rangolis.
