I rangoli vengono realizzati durante festività importanti come Diwali (la festività della luce, dedicata alla dea Lakshmi, colei che porta prosperità ), Onam e Pongal (festività legate al primo taglio del riso) e molti altri festival indiani, per cerimonie e matrimoni, e come simbolo di buon augurio e prosperità .
