Prompt
Create three meaningfully different rangoli layout briefs for my measured space and available materials: a centre-focused design, a border design and an asymmetrical design. For each describe approximate dimensions, colours and a simple top-down text sketch. Use only the specified motifs and keep the agreed walkway clear. Flag where the design needs a trial on the actual surface. Do not invent sacred symbols, claim exact material quantities or imply you have generated a finished image. My details: Area: 90cm by 90cm beside the door, outside the walkway. Materials: dry colour powder in orange, white and blue. Motifs: circles and leaves only. Keep the door swing clear. No candles. Use only supplied facts. The default details are fictional examples, not a real event. Ask for essential missing input or mark it unknown. Do not invent names, dates, prices, permissions or commitments. Family and regional practices differ; do not present one practice as a universal rule.
Customise
Paste the real details. Leave out anything you do not want repeated.
Fields start with illustrative values; replace them with your own facts. The prompt updates as you type. Copy prompt copies your version.

Space: 90cm by 90cm beside the door, outside the walkway. Powders: orange, white, blue. Motifs: circles and leaves only. Door swing stays clear. No candles. These are briefs, not a finished image. Quantities of powder were not supplied. 1. Centre-focused A circle near the middle, leaves around it. Colours: orange circle, white leaves, blue as a thin outer circle. Keep the whole design inside 90cm by 90cm and off the door swing. Top-down: O of leaves around a filled circle. Door edge stays empty. 2. Border Circles and leaves along the outer edge only, centre left bare. Orange and white on the border, blue on a few leaves. Top-down: an empty middle, a frame of circles and leaves. Walkway and door swing stay clear. 3. Asymmetrical Circles grouped to one side, leaves trailing to the other, still inside the 90cm square. Top-down: circles left, leaves right. Not centred. Trial: test each idea on the actual floor before committing powder. Exact powder amounts are not stated.
