Alpana belongs to the larger category of what is known as Indian 'rangoli, ' in which patterns are created on floors of temples, courtyards, living spaces, or other surfaces utilizing rice flour, water, and other materials for religious and domestic ceremonies. (From the Introduction by Guy L. Beck)
The book contains sixty example images of alpana portraying animals, vegetables, and various ornate squares, triangles, and diamonds. The some of the images are in black and white and others in full color.
