Rangoli Classes in Basavanagudi, 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 Basavanagudi
Live classes on IST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekday 5:30 to 8:00 PM IST, plus weekend morning batches, generally set to fit around the Carnatic and Sanskrit classes a lot of Basavanagudi children already attend.
Families come from Gandhi Bazaar, DVG Road, N R Colony, Shankarapuram, Hanumanthanagar and Thyagarajanagar. Of all our catchments this is the one where parents ask the sharpest questions about pronunciation, and we take that as the standard.
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 Basavanagudi 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, plus weekend morning batches, generally set to fit around the Carnatic and Sanskrit classes a lot of Basavanagudi children already attend..
Rangoli Classes for families in Basavanagudi
Basavanagudi is one of the oldest parts of Bengaluru, laid out around the Bull Temple, and still the most tradition-rich neighbourhood in the city. Between Gandhi Bazaar, the music and Sanskrit schools and a full temple calendar, children here often arrive already knowing a shloka or two. What we add is structure, correct pronunciation and meaning.
Basavanagudi is a short run north of our base off Kanakapura Road, and of all of Bengaluru it is the neighbourhood our teaching tradition feels most at home in.
Around here: Dodda Basavana Gudi (Bull Temple) · Bugle Rock Park · Gandhi Bazaar · Ramakrishna Ashrama · National College metro station (Green Line)

“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 Basavanagudi, 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 Basavanagudi usually give the child a corner of the floor or a large sheet of card; either works.
