How to Choose the Right Stencil Size
Choosing the right stencil size depends on where you plan to place the rangoli:
5×5 inch — Ideal for small pooja rooms, inside the mandir, or on a table. Works well for daily kolam.
10×10 inch — The most versatile size. Suitable for door entrances, pooja rooms, and medium-sized floor spaces. Our best-selling size for everyday use.
12×12 inch — For larger floor areas, courtyards, and festival decorations. Creates a bold, eye-catching design that stands out during Diwali and Navratri.
Border stencils (17×5 inch and similar) — Rectangular stencils for door thresholds, corridor edges, and pairing alongside a centre-piece rangoli.
How to Use a Wooden Rangoli Stencil
Using a wooden rangoli stencil is simple — no artistic skill needed. Place the stencil flat on a clean, dry surface. Hold it steady or use a small piece of tape at the corners. Fill the cut-out areas with rangoli colour powder, rice flour, or flower petals. Gently lift the stencil to reveal the design. Clean the stencil with a dry cloth after use. Each stencil is reusable — with proper care, it can last for years.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a wooden rangoli stencil?
A wooden rangoli stencil is a flat wooden board with laser-cut design patterns. You place it on the floor and fill the cut-out areas with rangoli colour powder, chalk, or flower petals to create a perfect rangoli without drawing by hand. Chitrashila's stencils are made from quality wood and are reusable for years.
How do I use a rangoli stencil?
Place the stencil flat on a clean, dry surface. Hold it steady or tape the corners lightly. Fill the cut-out areas with rangoli powder or any colouring material of your choice. Gently lift the stencil to reveal the design. Clean with a dry cloth after use.
What is the difference between kolam stencils and rangoli stencils?
Kolam and rangoli both refer to traditional Indian floor art. Kolam is the South Indian term (popular in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh) while rangoli is used across Maharashtra, Gujarat, and North India. The designs differ in style — kolam patterns often use dots and lines, while rangoli designs tend to be more freeform and colourful. Chitrashila offers both styles.
Which size rangoli stencil should I buy?
For daily pooja or small mandir spaces, 5×5 inch works well. For door entrances, 10×10 inch is the most popular and versatile. For festivals and large floor areas, 12×12 inch creates a bold look. Border stencils work great along doorsteps and corridors.
Are wooden rangoli stencils reusable?
Yes. Chitrashila's wooden stencils are designed to be reused many times. After use, simply wipe with a dry cloth. Avoid soaking in water. With proper care, a single stencil can last for years.
Can I use rangoli stencils on any surface?
Yes, wooden rangoli stencils work on most flat surfaces — marble, tiles, cement, wood flooring, and even tabletops. For best results, make sure the surface is clean and dry before placing the stencil.
What materials can I fill in the stencil?
You can use rangoli colour powder, white rangoli powder, rice flour, chalk powder, sand, or even flower petals. For a semi-permanent look, some people also use acrylic paint — though this is more common for decorative art projects than daily rangoli.
Do you offer stencils for Diwali and festival rangoli?
Yes. Chitrashila has a dedicated collection of Diwali rangoli stencils with festive motifs like diyas, swastika, mandala, and Om designs. These are available in multiple sizes and are perfect for decorating your home during the festival season.
