Rice Carvings: The first one is an eagle carved from three grains of rice using dental tools by hand, assembled and painted.

Rice Rangoli: Rangoli is a form of sand painting decoration created using finely ground white and colored powders. These are mostly created in front of the houses.

And at times flower petals and other colorful materials supplement these.
