In Rajasthan Mandanas are made on almost all festive occasions whether it is a wedding or a housewarming or any other festive celebration like Deepavali, Dushera etc. There are different kinds of Mandanas for different occasions. This folk art is usually made on the floor on different occasions using natural colours/materials like rice powder, turmeric and brick powder.
To revive this old-age tradition Suruchi Kendra decided to organise a workshop where this art was taught and its significance explained. Students who enrolled prepared two Mandanas in two days spending three hours each day. They made Mandanas on MDF boards which were easy to carry home.
