Aipan is one of the traditional forms of Rangoli of Kumaon (a region in the state of Uttarakhand, India).. It is a decorative art form used extensively to decorate floors and walls at the places of worship and entrances of homes.
This art is associated with a great degree of social, cultural as well as religious significance. Also the art of Aipan is passed on from generation to generation, by passing on the patterns to the daughters and daughters-in-law in the family.
Inspired from the Kumaoni aipans, I created these as a part of my Design Project 1 at NID.

And then digitised but not completely smoothened so as to mantain the feel of being handmade and earthy.
...and tada!
