These charcoals are often used by artists for their versatile properties, such as the rough texture that leaves marks less permanent than other art media. Charcoal can produce lines that are very light or intensely black, while being easily removable, yet vulnerable to leaving stains on paper. The dry medium can be applied to almost any surface from smooth to very coarse. Fixatives are often used with charcoal drawings to solidify the position to prevent erasing or rubbing off of charcoal dusts.

This art is known differently in various regions such as Mandna, Alpana, Alekhan, Kolam, Rangoli, etc. For this the medium and form for expression can be free hand, pictorial and descriptive.

However, in this competition, either of the two rangoli is to be designed.

The first type of rangoli may be made with RangoliColors, while the second type of rangoli may be made using flowers or leaves etc.

In art, the term painting describes both the act and the result of the action. It also describes the expression of ideas and emotions, with the creation of certain aesthetic qualities, in a two-dimensional visual language. The elements of this language—its shapes, lines, colours, tones, and textures—are used in various ways to produce sensations of volume, space, movement, and light on a flat surface. These elements are combined into expressive patterns in order to represent real or supernatural phenomena, to interpret a narrative theme, or to create wholly abstract visual relationships.
