What’s trending for Diwali 2025
This season, rangoli trends are leaning toward convenience and texture. Readymade acrylic rangolis and fusion styles that mix powder, flower petals, beads, and tiny decorative stones are especially popular — they create depth and save time while keeping the handmade charm.

Design themes that stand out this year include floral mandalas, peacock-inspired patterns, geometric borders, and playful 3D illusions that pop with shading and layered materials. Larger entrance rangolis are often paired with clusters of diyas and marigold flowers to create an inviting photo corner.
