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.

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”
