Making natural Holi colours at home is a great way to celebrate the festival in an eco-friendly manner. Here are some tips…
Boil beetroot in water until the water turns a deep red colour. You can cool this water and use it on Holi.
Alternatively, mix this red water with cornflour or talcum powder and allow it to dry in the sun. Then break the lump apart to form natural gulaal.
To get a beautiful purple colour, grind Jamun and grapes together in a blender and use this mixture for playing with colours.
Boil spinach leaves or henna leaves in water until the water turns green. This water can be used as green colour on Holi, and the spinach can be eaten later.
Instead of using harsh colours, mix sandalwood paste with turmeric for a natural dye to use on Holi.
Turmeric can also be mixed with besan or maida to make a natural gulaal for Holi.
