Rangolis in the Spring Sunshine

Pupils at Truro School and Truro School Prep have been marking the start of the Hindu festival of Holi by creating colourful rangolis. Often referred to as the Festival of Colours, Holi is a time for joyful celebration to mark the end of winter and the beginning of spring.

The festival symbolises the triumph of good over evil and the spirit of togethernesss as people come together to enjoy sweets and delight in colour, music and dance.

Rangoli is a decorative folk art from India that is created on the floor in front of entrances to homes during Holi to bring good luck and welcome Hindu Gods and Goddesses. The elaborate designs are made of rice, coloured sand, powder, or petals.

As you can see, our pupils and students enjoyed creating these colourful masterpieces together and delighted in the warm spring sunshine.
