Rangoli Classes in Banashankari, Bangalore
Symmetry you draw on the floor, from memory
Rangoli is drawn on the floor, in loose powder, with no eraser and no undo — and it is meant to be swept away the next morning. That combination teaches something a sketchbook cannot: plan the whole thing before you commit, because the first line already decides the last.

Symmetry you draw on the floor, from memory
A drawing class trains the hand on paper, at a desk, at eye level. Rangoli is a different plane, a different scale and an unforgiving medium, and most children who draw well on paper are lost the first time they work on the ground. We start with the dot grid, because symmetry on a floor is arithmetic before it is art.
The dot grid (chukki) taught first — the structure everything hangs on
Symmetry worked out rather than guessed, so a design closes correctly
Powder control — the pinch, the pour, and a steady continuous line
Regional styles distinguished: kolam, muggu, alpana, rangoli
Festival designs timed for Diwali, Pongal, Ugadi and Onam
Practised on paper before floor, so no material is wasted learning
Batch timings for Banashankari
Live classes on IST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekday 5:30 to 8:00 PM IST and weekend mornings, scheduled around Banashankari school hours. The area is a short drive from our base, and families are welcome to visit.
Families come from all the stages, from 1st through 6th, plus Kathriguppe and Girinagar. Many are long-settled south Bengaluru households where shlokas were learned at home a generation ago.
What your child walks away able to do
A symmetrical dot-grid design completed unaided
A steady powder line and an even, controlled fill
Understanding of the regional traditions and what distinguishes them
A festival rangoli the child can lay at home without help
Rangoli Classes, module by module
What a year of rangoli classes actually covers, in the order we teach it.
The Dot Grid
Chukki and pulli. Counting, spacing, and why the grid is the whole design before a line is drawn.
Line and Loop
The kolam loop that travels around dots without lifting. Hand control at floor scale.
Symmetry
Four-fold and eight-fold. Working the repeat out so a design closes rather than nearly closes.
Powder and Colour
The pinch grip, filling evenly, blending edges, and stopping colours bleeding into each other.
Regional Traditions
Tamil kolam, Andhra muggu, Bengali alpana, Maharashtrian rangoli — what actually differs between them.
A Festival Piece
A full design planned, gridded and laid for the nearest festival, photographed for the showcase.

Arts & Painting is the one class we teach in person as well as online. Offline batches run at our arts studio in Jayanagar, Bengaluru, with the same mentors and the same curriculum as the online batches. If Banashankari is within a sensible drive, tell us and we will send the current offline batch timings.
Three simple steps to begin
1. Tell us about your child
Call or WhatsApp us and say where your child is starting from. For rangoli classes that matters — the mentor pitches the trial to what they can already do.
2. Free trial with a mentor
A real, live class, not a sales call. The mentor works with your child for the full session and then tells you honestly whether this is the right class of ours for them.
3. Pick a slot that survives the school week
We place your child in a batch built for IST. Weekday 5:30 to 8:00 PM IST and weekend mornings, scheduled around Banashankari school hours.
Rangoli Classes for families in Banashankari
Banashankari takes its name from the Banashankari Amma temple, and the neighbourhood spreads out in numbered stages around it. It is one of the most settled, tradition-minded parts of South Bengaluru, and Shloka and Gita classes are what families here ask us for first.
Banashankari runs along the Outer Ring Road and Kanakapura Road corridors, the same stretch of the city we live on, so these are neighbours as much as students.
Around here: Banashankari Amma Temple · Banashankari metro station (Green Line) · Banashankari TTMC bus stand · Kathriguppe Main Road

“My son now begins every day with his shlokas, chanting them perfectly, and actually understanding what they mean. What moved me most is how much calmer and more focused he has become.”
Rangoli Classes in Banashankari, Bangalore, FAQs
The mentor’s camera looks down at their floor and the child sets a phone or laptop to do the same, so both sides see the work from above. Families in Banashankari usually give the child a corner of the floor or a large sheet of card; either works.
