Diwali celebrations in Dubai have received a dazzling new attraction, and it is made entirely of gold and diamond jewellery. A giant Golden Rangoli, featuring 213 pieces of jewellery weighing a whopping
6.5 kg, has been revealed at City Centre Deira.
Bollywood actor Tamannaah Bhatia attended the launch of the elaborate installation, which gives the traditional Indian festive decoration a luxurious makeover.
The unique installation has been created by jewellery brand Damas in collaboration with the Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE). Measuring 2 metres by 2 metres, the Golden Rangoli features individual jewellery pieces, including necklaces, bangles, earrings and pendants. The collection of ornaments has been sourced from Damas’ Rangoli, Legacy and Ananya collections.
Golden Rangoli Takes 16 Hours And 10 People To Create
Bringing the elaborate design to life was no easy task. A team of 10 people reportedly spent 16 hours carefully assembling the jewellery pieces by hand to create the final installation. The result combines the intricate patterns associated with traditional rangoli designs with the brilliance of precious jewellery, transforming a familiar festive decoration into an extravagant display.
The unusual choice of material has given the traditional artwork a striking makeover, making it one of the highlights of Dubai’s Diwali festivities this year. The shopping centre also took to Instagram to share a video of the display, offering viewers a closer look at how different pieces of jewellery were brought together to create the massive rangoli.
