Lisa Ray Instagram – My friend @raj_bansal shared an image of this #Rangoli created for a flower show in #Jaipur. For those who don’t know, Rangoli is an art form, originating in the Indian subcontinent, in which patterns are created on the ground using materials such as colored rice, dry flour, colored sand or flower petals. It’s more than remarkable and I’d love to know the name of the artist. This is an eerily accurate replica of a photo taken of me when I played Jahanara in a theatrical production called #Taj that starred @ikabirbedi as #ShahJahan. This beautiful piece of art also reminds me of Tibetan sand mandalas which take weeks – sometimes months – of painstaking mastery to create and then are ritualistically destroyed to signify the impermanence and fragility of, well, pretty much everything 🙏🏼
