The motifs and designs in Aipan are inspired by the religious beliefs of the community and the natural resources around them. They generally include conch shells, creepers, floral patterns, swastika, footsteps of goddess, geometric designs and figures of gods and goddesses. The linear lines drawn in Aipan are symbolic to the ritual or festival it is drawn for.
