Rangoli Classes in the UAE
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.
Beyond Dubai, we teach families across Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah. The pattern is consistent across the Emirates: parents on long working hours, children in Indian curriculum schools, and a wish for something rooted that does not depend on a weekend drive.
The dot grid (chukki) taught first — the structure everything hangs on
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 the UAE
Live classes on GST, scheduled around your week rather than ours.
Weekend batches follow the UAE’s Saturday–Sunday weekend, with Friday afternoon slots after the half-day, alongside weekday 5:00 to 7:30 PM GST batches. The one-and-a-half-hour offset from India means almost any slot works for both ends.
Abu Dhabi and Sharjah follow Dubai in numbers. Because the timezone is so convenient, UAE families are also the most likely to take two classes a week.

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 GST. Weekend batches follow the UAE’s Saturday–Sunday weekend, with Friday afternoon slots after the half-day, alongside weekday 5:00 to 7:30 PM GST batches.
“The Ramayana classes are the highlight of my daughter’s week. She now teaches us the values she learns. As NRI parents in Dubai, this connection to our culture is priceless.”
Rangoli Classes in the UAE, FAQs
Mildly, and that is part of it. Most families work on a card sheet laid on the floor which lifts away cleanly, and we teach the pinch grip early precisely because it cuts spillage right down.
