Rangoli Classes in Chennai
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.
Chennai has the deepest existing culture of shloka and Carnatic learning of any city we teach into, and parents here ask the most exacting questions about pronunciation and swara. We take that as a compliment and as a standard, and mentors are candid about which of our classes adds something for a child who is already learning at home.
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
Practised on paper before floor, so no material is wasted learning
Batch timings for Chennai
Live classes on IST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekday 5:30 to 8:00 PM IST, plus weekend morning batches. Timings are set with the sabha and Carnatic class calendar in mind, since many of our Chennai children have both.
Families come to us from Mylapore, Adyar, Besant Nagar, Anna Nagar, Velachery and OMR. Kalamkari has particular resonance here, and we teach it with its Andhra and Tamil temple-cloth context rather than as a generic craft.
What your child walks away able to do
A symmetrical dot-grid design completed unaided
A steady powder line and an even, controlled fill
A festival rangoli the child can lay at home without help

Arts & Painting runs in person at our arts studio in Jayanagar, Bengaluru, and, like every class of ours, at our HSR Layout centre, 243, 16th Main Road, Sector 3, HSR Layout, Bengaluru 560102. Both use the same mentors and the same curriculum as the online batches. If Chennai 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 first class to what they can already do.
2. Personal guidance from 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.
“My daughter used to freeze on stage. After a few months of public speaking classes, she confidently delivered a speech at her school assembly. The mentors are patient and truly gifted.”
