The headline puzzled you? That was our idea in the first place. Read on to know why…

A riot of colours, splash of water balloons, colour-clad faces, fun and frolic may be the core ingredients of any Holi celebration. However, its the true shades of joy that come together to paint the canvas of the festival of colours and not so much the hue and cry around Holi. Well now that you know you got to play smart when choosing your Holi celebration options, let us tell you how.
All it takes to keep your Holi safe and neat is a little care and responsibility during the celebration. Refrain from using harmful products like oil paints, petrol, mud and other chemical based products.

Such products can create health hazards and also harm your health. Make sure that you refrain from using such harmful products.

O FOR ORGANIC
Are dark colours like red, black, green and yellow your favourite colours?Oxidized metals or dyes mixed with oil are often used in synthetic colours and can lead to a number of skin related diseases. They are also extremely harmful for our eyes and can cause a skin rash, itching and other allergic reactions. These synthetic colours may be dark and long lasting but are equally hazardous.

On the contrary, the organic colours may not be dark but are least harmful. Green gulal is made with organic tulsi leaves and natural fragrances. The yellow colour is made of arrowroot powder, haldi and natural fragrances. Since both tulsi and haldi are known to improve skin texture and heal wounds, they are a great option. If you are in the mood to use organic colours this Holi, try out Rangeela colours, which are easily available in the market and are a convenient and healthy organic choice.

DRY HOLI
Drought and water scarcity is a major issue in cities and villages across the country today. Thus we need to work towards celebrating dry Holi. It’s fun to drown people in a puddle of water, throw water balloons at friends and fill your pichkaris with coloured water and spray it on people.

However, considering the drought scenario in the many states of India, it is indeed crucial to conserve water. In order to avoid any water crisis in the future, one can save water and avoid playing water Holi.
Start and propogate a culture of organic Holi or be ready to face the brunt in the future.
