How to Make Organic Colours at home easily: DIY
The Holi festival colors our lives in the hues of red, yellow, blue, and pink. With all our heart and soul, we smear the faces of our dear ones with colored power and forget all the inhibitions we all love to get drenched in stained waters. But, let’s unabashedly accept that amidst all the Holi fun, our mind is splashed with the hints of fear, terror, distress. It is because we all very well know how harmful all these innocent and beautiful colors can be to our health and environment.
Every year, there is an undying dilemma that encircles us all--whether to play or not to play Holi. Most of us always give in to temptation, but not anymore. This March, we will play a safe and organic Holi which will be all about smiles, laughs, and cheers because we are going to tell you how to make organic colors with flowers. Let the Holi preparations begin.
Why do we celebrate Holi?
We celebrate it to honor of Shri Vishnu and his devotee Prahlada. Hiranyakashyapu was a king who wanted to be immortal. He wanted everyone to worship him. However, his son Prahlada did not adhere to his wishes and continued to pray to Shri Vishnu. He asked his sister to sit in a bonfire with Prahalada in her lap to test his faith. Holika had a boon that fire couldn't touch her if she wore her magical shawl. When the fire was lit, due to Shri Vishnu's blessing, the shawl fell on Prahlad and saved him instead of Holika. Even today, the Holika fire is lit on the eve of Holi in remembrance.

The sunny yellow color splats happiness and hope in the festival of Holi. Also, the different tints of yellow are auspicious in Hindu traditions and customs. Dye your hand natural yellow by grinding marigolds, amaltas, or chrysanthemums.

Celebrate the Holi festival with vigor and enthusiasm by smudging some tangy orange color. The “Tesu ke Phool” is the most popular choice for playing Holi with flaming and fragrant orange gulal.

The bold purple-colored gulal can be homemade and promises bright and soft skin. Dry some lavender, orchids, and lilacs to obtain a royal peppy purple color.
