To welcome Diwali, a beautiful rangoli competition was organized by Bhavnagar Kala Sangh at Ghogha Circle today on the day of Dhanteras. More than 80 contestants from the age group of 4 years to 70 years participated in this competition, in which artists in different age groups were encouraged by giving prizes. Ajay Chauhan, president of Bhavnagar Kala Sangathan, said that in this rangoli competition, apart from traditional colours, the artists have made very attractive rangolis using different and unique mediums like rice, different grains, fresh flowers and sweets. The competition was organized in two age groups, 4 to 15 years and above 16 years of age. The specialty of this competition was that people of all age groups ranging from children of 4-5 years to adults in 70 years of age displayed their art. This Rangoli exhibition is currently open for all the amateur public of Bhavnagar at Ghogha Circle. Ekta Doshi, mother of Niva Doshi, who participated in the competition, shared her experience and said that the use of social media and mobile has increased a lot in recent times. People are giving up books and wasting their precious time on social media. With the aim of explaining the value of time and creating awareness in the society, her daughter drew a rangoli on a social theme on the misuse of social media. She thanked the Kala Sangathan and hoped that the organization will continue to provide platform and opportunity to artists in the same way in the future.
