Muggulu is a traditional form of art practiced mainly in the southern regions of India, particularly in the states of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. It involves creating intricate patterns and designs on the ground using materials like rice flour, chalk, or colored powders. These designs are often made in front of homes during festivals, celebrations, or daily rituals to welcome guests and bring good luck.
The patterns can vary from simple geometric shapes to complex motifs depicting nature, animals, or religious symbols. Muggulu is not only a decorative art but also a way to connect with cultural heritage, as it reflects the creativity and artistic expression of the local community.
