Holi is
celebrated all over India as the festival of colors, love, togetherness and
forgiveness. People all over the country have already started planning for the
welcome of this festival. Several designs and varieties of pichkari and colors
are displayed all over the market. The whole market is decorated with pichkari’s
and gulaal (color) packets. Nowadays, herbal colors are highly trending in the
market to attract buyers.
Eco-Friendly Colors
Eco-friendly
colors are highly tending nowadays; these are easily washable and don’t harm
the skin. They are made by natural flowers extracts instead of previously used harmful
chemical colors. These chemical colors were very harmful on skin and caused
several skin allergies. Some sensitive people suffered from several skin and other
related problems due ti these chemical colors.
Eco-Friendly Gulaal
In olden
days, people played dry Holi with “Gulaal”, these are powdered form of colors
and are very easy on skin. They don’t leave any stains and thus are termed as
eco-friendly also. But, today even these “Gulaal” are highly adulterated and it
is difficult to identify the chemical or organic gulaal without using it. Chemical
gulaal is highly irritable and it causes redness and swelling on the skin. Sometimes,
rubbing dry gulaal causes scars and rashes on sensitive skins.
Pichkaris or Sprayers
Pichkaris or
sprayers are attractive sprayers to throw or spray colored water on each other.
These are available in variety of colors and patterns all over the market. These
are easily available online also. All children love to play Holi with these
pichkari’s.
Colored Balloons
Small rubber
balloons filled with color water are very prevalent on the Holi-day. People throw
these water filled balloons on each other. They are available in variety of
sizes and colors. Nowadays even special tools are available to fill more than
30-40 balloons at a single time.
These
festivals are celebrated to enhance love, togetherness and bonding between all
of us. We should try to celebrate festivals in a healthy way to encourage this
basic logic behind the celebration of this festival. “I wish you all a happy
and healthy Holi of love and togetherness”
