排灯节装饰

排灯节是为期五天的灯节，在排灯节期间，地板上用彩米、沙子和花瓣等材料创造出各种形状和大小的充满活力的图案。这种迷人的印度民间艺术被称为rangoli，通常制作在家门口附近，以迎接客人和神灵，据说在特殊场合能带来好运。今年的庆祝活动可能会有点不同，但这些装饰性的图画、闪烁的灯光和小油灯（即diyas）仍然会使建筑物变得明亮。

During Diwali, the five-day festival of lights, vibrant patterns of all shapes and sizes are created on the floor out of materials such as colored rice, sand, and flower petals. The charming Indian folk art, called rangoli, is usually made near the entrance of a home to welcome guests and deities, and is said to bring good luck on special occasions. Celebrations might be a bit different this year, but buildings will still be brightened by these decorative drawings, twinkling lights, and small oil lamps, known as diyas.
