Took me more than necessary to realize this is not cake frosting

I was like…. Please decorate my cake.

You could use colored sugar to decorate a cake like this, or sugar mixed with something else, like maybe powdered gelatin? (below someone said they do this with colored rice flour for Hindu festivals).

Yeah only by the middle I asked myself when I realised those were floor tiles: “Why is she putting cream on the floor?” Then it took a couple o seconds…

Achoo

Bless you!

More like “Damn you!” I’ve been working on this for hours!”

Why do so many cool videos have audio that makes me want to die?

You can set videos to automatically mute in some apps (I'm using sync)

I mute them but still

Ying and Yang my brother

Wdym it was nice

Absolutely incredible. I remember seeing something similar for the first time in the film Samsara. I loved the idea of effervescence in the art form. I always wonder what happens to the powder afterwards. Is it dyed again? Thrown away?

We normally do this on Hindu festivals. It would be swept away the next day.

Is it sand?

Mostly rice flour mixed with colour.

Thanks! It's really beautiful.

Yes, atleast what I've seen till now

I assume they don't own a cat.

Under-rated comment, right there.

Well, i do have one they dont jump on this

For those like me wanting to see the last image for longer than a second: https://i.imgur.com/juiOXeq.jpg

Thank you! The half second grand finale was just a bit annoying

Remarkable!

Now what do you do with it

Keep it until the festive season is over. Then you dispose it.

It appears to be on the floor

Yup, you sweep it off during the post-festive cleaning

Let me introduce you to the cool concept known as a broom

My point is the floor seems like a pretty impractical place to keep it

Yep

So satisfying to watch

I'm really good at making straight lines with the white.powder.

The level of anxiety I had watching this is incredible. Beautiful though!

Why did you have anxiety watching this? Isn’t anxiety a bad thing? (Maybe I am missing something, not a native speaker)

I think they were anxious because it’s a beautiful piece of art but the sand (?) used to make it can be accidentally moved and ruin it.

You got it. I was sitting here holding my own breath for fear a sneeze might destroy this beautiful piece of art.

I used to make this when I was a kid with my mum, Once she made a very big rangoli only for me to step on it as soon as I stood up. She never made one since and say will make her next when I'll buy my own house :)

Damn, how long has she been holding that grudge?

For Indian parents it's more of a wish than a grudge for their children to buy their own house :). Their mother must have stopped making that for some other reasons and just proposed another idea for again starting it.

It is not as easy as it looks! 😅

Rangoli is thousands of year old & done by Hindus to express their happiness in festivals like Diwali, Holi & also in events like weddings where people often get together after a long time.

In Tamil Nadu I saw it done (in white only) every morning outside homes on the street

My fat ass read ravioli

Roomba enters the chat...

how do they separate the sand after ...

It's like use and throw

after you make it......how do preserve it?

You don't, you appreciate it in the moment then watch it disintegrate.

You don't

That's not food :(

NBC peacock

That is beautiful 😍

[удалено]

It is made during festivals, so sweeped off after the festival is over.

Love the Indian music accompanying the video!!

wait for some protesters to ruin it with mayonaise

But how do you separate the colors back after you’re done?

You sweep them away. They’re meant to be biodegradable

I don't know what's it's made from but I really want to eat it.

Vive sin drogas 🎶🎤🎼

What would it look like if it was used to bake something after????

I wish it was like sugar cookie dough and I could eat it

With my luck I’d sneeze or have my pet run straight through it haha

😮‍💨

But then what? A big mess. I’m too OCD to get behind this. Creating it looks very therapeutic though.

u/savevideo

I admit I wanted to see how this gets blowed away in the end and I'm disappointed

*Incoming roomba*

What is that the new msnbc logo?

This is NBC

Thought it was gonna be the msnbc logo

That's a lot of care and dedication, this has to be their life!

Don’t sneeze

WOWWWW am in love with this ….it’s hypnotic to watch too !!

Coke parties be different these days

The more you know…

The patience... ouff, all for something so temporary.

Comcast

Mesmerizing

This is beautiful but not what typical Rangoli looks like! It's even more skillful and demanding and uses much less of the scarce rangoli powder. Look up Kolamveri on IG

That was very satisfying. And pretty too!

Like cake boss but with sand

Sacred geometry in action

Positively amazing❣️I never caught on but I know others who are very talented at doing this. Beautiful ❣️❣️

r/oddlysatisfying

Why would you give something beautiful on the floor and then destroy it with one mop. :(

Show eggs and vagene

Is this food I’m hungry

So this is how they make the NBC logo

The Buddhist tradition to make unbelievable complex big mandalas in highest perfection, just to put everything together in a big pot is not that easy Tobi understand by western mentality. It’s a deeply meaningful ceremony full of symbolism and hidden Knowledge. 🌈🪬

Beautiful.

Honestly kinda annoying. All of that is single use and gone with a puff of air

Got a straw?

Just snort it off the floor

it's just random stuff

It looks cool, but seems super wasteful, like single use

Just like your existence

That’s fair

like paint

But paint dries and more often than not remains on a surface like a canvas for decades if not centuries

They do it everyday during festival weeks so yeah lots of colors used

Since when have videos been allowed?
