The Hindu festival Holi is a celebration of love, harmony and vibrant colours. We all celebrate this day completely by applying watercolor and different types of Gulal to each other. This gulal is basically made from organic material. In spring, a wide range of bright flowers bloom and these are used as ingredients for making Holi colours. Earlier we used to use this natural process to make Holi colours.
But now, due to massive popularity and increasing industrialization, these natural dyes have now been replaced by some chemically synthetic processed dyes. These are usually cheaper than natural dyes. Therefore, by choosing artificial colors, we reduce our health to problems like skin allergies, temporary blindness and even skin cancer.
So, this Holi season, it is essential for you to protect yourself and your loved ones by avoiding those toxic colors available in the market. In other words, play safe Holi by making natural homemade colours.
Making Holi colors at home can take some time. but do not worry. Here are some easy and quick tips to prepare natural Holi colors with zero side effects:
