Before Diwali, Pongal and Onam, many busy families, shops and offices want a beautiful rangoli at their entrance but don’t have the time or skill. If you enjoy making them, you can offer rangoli as a paid festive service.
Who pays for rangoli
- Busy families who want one at the doorstep for Diwali.
- Shops, showrooms and restaurants decorating for the festival.
- Offices hosting Diwali celebrations.
- Housing societies, schools and event organisers.
- Weddings and pujas.
Materials
- Rangoli colours
- Stencils for quick, neat repeat designs.
- Rangoli tools such as filler cones and combs.
- Flowers and diyas for a finishing touch.
- Reusable rangoli mats for offices that want something lasting.
Pricing
Price by size and detail, for example small, medium and large door rangolis, plus a separate quote for big event floors. Add travel and materials. For offices and events, take a deposit when booking.
Finding clients
- Post time-lapse reels of your work.
- Offer early-booking slots to your society and neighbours.
- Approach shops and offices two to three weeks before Diwali.
- Leave a small card or QR code with each finished rangoli.
Plan the festive rush
The days before Diwali are the busiest. Fix how many bookings you can do per day, group them by area, and prepare your colours in advance.
