During the Aaradhane at SKV, North Carolina, while welcoming God and Rayaru, I saw an amazing drawn Aarathi plate. I was told it is customary to have Rangoli and Lakshmi Hrudaya in Aarathi plate. I had never heard about it.
So, I asked Meghana who has become a close extended family, and also Anuradha Shrikanth Belpu to please take picture of the Aarathi plate
The plate was decorated by Smt. Akhila Mahishi who also told me the trick to do the same.
You can find how to draw Lakshmi Hrudaya from my blog here:
To draw it on a silver plate, mix Kumkum, water and Honey together and draw the Rangoli with a toothpick or the tip of an Agarbathi.
The final design is just amazing. Hope you can all draw this for the upcoming Krishna Janmastami.

Thanks so much Akhila Avare for the amazing aarthi design, Meghana and Anuradha for the pictures.
