There has been a Hindu cultural tradition of drawing madndana or auspicious wall painting on various festivals early morning to welcome the Supreme Divine Soul or to get aware of humans' non-physical or spiritual self.
Commonly, square shape is drawn to represent four-directional nature of limitless space and time.
The sides of the squares are decorated with waves for progress and prosperity through zest and zeal.
The left-over corners are decorated with petal-like shapes to indicate respect and reverence for Mother Nature and striving for living in harmony with all
At the centre of the wall drawing, Om or Swastika is inscribed as an aspiration to awaken the divinity within and merger of individual soul with the supreme soul.
In fact, on the occasion of the festival, wall drawings worked as reminders of the higher purpose of human existence.
