Rangoli Classes in France
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.
France has a connection to India most countries do not: Puducherry was French until 1954, and a good number of Franco-Indian families, largely Tamil, have lived between the two countries since. They sit alongside a newer community of professionals in Paris, Toulouse and Lyon, and for both the children are usually being schooled entirely in French.
The dot grid (chukki) taught first — the structure everything hangs on
Symmetry worked out rather than guessed, so a design closes correctly
Festival designs timed for Diwali, Pongal, Ugadi and Onam
Practised on paper before floor, so no material is wasted learning
Batch timings for France
Live classes on CET, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekday 5:00 to 7:00 PM CET, which is 9:30 to 11:30 PM in India in winter and an hour earlier in summer, and Saturday mornings. Instruction is in English; mentors are used to children whose strongest school language is something else.
What your child walks away able to do

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. Families outside Bengaluru take the online batches, which cover the identical curriculum.
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 CET. Weekday 5:00 to 7:00 PM CET, which is 9:30 to 11:30 PM in India in winter and an hour earlier in summer, and Saturday mornings.
“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.”
Rangoli Classes in France, 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 France usually give the child a corner of the floor or a large sheet of card; either works.
