Title: "Dance of Light"
Rangolis and Kolams are designed by the ladies of a household as sacred welcoming areas for the deities during this festive season. It’s a beautiful tradition that has been past down from generation to generation.This rangolis/kolam depicts the celebration starting from a simple diyas.
From its light, a beautiful girl dances to show their joy and happiness. Soon a magnificent peacock joins in with the rhythms of the music in a dance that symbolizes their faith in its highest glory.

Title: "The Light of Love, Harmony and Wisdom"
Inspired by the harmonious kolam designs, the students and lecturers at KBU School of Design choose to design a peacock with its colourful feathers spread out while it looks shyly as it warmly welcomes visitors to 1 Utama Shopping Centre to share the festive occasion of Deepavali. The peacock’s feathers symbolize good luck and health.
May our humble peacock bring light, love and harmony to all shoppers at 1 Utama.
