Mystical, religious India celebrates each day and decorative, homely or spiritual elements are part of the environment, incorporated into/onto walls or on the floor.
The earthy brown colour is a combination of cow dung and chaff mixed to make an 'adobe' style layer for buildings or floors. These decorations were seen in rural Rajasthan on the way to Ranthambore, where we went on 2 tiger spotting safaris. We did see 1 tiger, sitting in long grass on the first afternoon. It's a wonder he wasn't scared away with the noise, shouting, jostling and excitement from the tour groups, mainly Indian nationals. However he was a man-killer, but not eater, and had dispatched 3 local victims who had wandered into his territory.
