Alpona - The traditional artworks of India

Today I would like to share some graphics or artworks but somehow these are special because these are the traditional artworks of Bengal since the time immemorial. Yes the decorative Floral Patterns or Bengali Folk Design known as Alpana and these are mainly done by the women folk of Bengal. The Alpona artworks are normally painted during the Lakshmi puja in Bengal. The artworks are also very popular in south India and are painted there during the festival like Pongal,Onam etc. Normally the Alpona is painted by rice dust socked in water but now readymade poster colors are being used to paint the Alpona. These photos of Alpona were being taken during the festival at our house.
