Holi is a vibrant and colorful festival celebrated in India and other parts of the world. During this festival, people throw colored powders and water on each other, dance, and celebrate together.

Traditionally, the colors used during Holi were made from natural sources, such as flowers, herbs, and spices. However, in recent years, synthetic colors have become more popular, which can be harmful to both human health and the environment.

To have a safe and eco-friendly Holi, it is best to use natural colors. Here are some of the traditional colors used during Holi and their sources:

Red - made from hibiscus flowers, red sandalwood powder, or dried pomegranate skins
Blue - made from indigo leaves or flowers of the Jacaranda tree
Yellow - made from turmeric or marigold flowers
Green - made from henna or mehndi leaves, or spinach leaves
Purple - made from beetroot or grapes
Orange - made from saffron or Tesu flowers
Using natural colors not only adds to the beauty of the festival but also helps preserve our environment and keep us safe from harmful chemicals.
