Eco-Friendly Blue Colourย For Holi

Food colouring combined with talcum powder or cornflour can be used to create a blue colour. But hereโ€™s a natural way to make it if you do not want to use food colouring.

To create a vivid blue hue at home, gather the following materials:

  • Neeli gulmohar flower
  • Cornflour or talcum powder

Steps:

  • Neeli gulmohar has bright blue blooms in the summer and can be used to create blue hues for Holi.
  • Let the neeli gulmohar flowers dry first.ย 
  • Give it a good grinding and combine it with talc or cornflour.

Eco-Friendly Pink Colourย For Holi

Option: 1

You can use the same procedures that you used to create the red colour. Simply use a smaller amount of lemon juice.

Option: 2

To make a stunning pink colour at home, keep these ingredients handy.

  • Beet roots
  • Rose water
  • Cornflour or talcum powder

Steps:

  • To begin, grate the beetroot roots and use a cloth to squeeze the juice.
  • Combine the rose water, cornflour and beetroot juice.
  • Continue blending until the colour appears uniform.
  • Transfer it to a tray and let it dehydrate.
  • Use it after passing it through a fine strainer.

Eco-Friendly Red Colourย For Holi

Option: 1

Turmeric and lemon juice can be combined. Because lemon juice is acidic, it will cause the turmeric to turn red. After that, you can set the mixture aside in a well-ventilated area to dry. Just make sure there is not any sunlight present or it will bleach.

Red hibiscus flowers can also be dried until crisp, at which point they can be ground into a powder using a mixer. To boost the quantity and quality of the colour, you can then combine equal parts rice flour and red saffron.

To get a red, wet colour, you can also boil pomegranate peels in water.

Option: 2

The following ingredients are needed to make red for Holi:

  • A red hibiscus flower or dried rose petals
  • Corn flour or any type of flour

Steps:

  • ย Rose or hibiscus petals that have been dried are needed to create a red colour.
  • ย Grind them into a fine paste after soaking them for an hour.
  • ย To make the paste into a smooth powder, thoroughly mix in the cornflour.
  • ย Microwave it or dry it in the sun.
  • As an alternative, you can use raktachandan or red sandalwood powder as gulal if you do not mind spending a little money.

Option: 3

You can make eco-friendly red color for Holi using natural ingredients like beetroot or hibiscus. Hereโ€™s how you can make it:

Beetroot Red Colour:

Ingredients: 

  • 1-2 medium-sized beetroots
  • Water
  • Cornstarch or flour (optional, for thickening)

Instructions:

  • Wash and peel the beetroots.
  • Chop the beetroots into small pieces.
  • Place the chopped beetroots in a pot and add enough water to cover them.
  • Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool down.
  • Strain the liquid to separate the beetroot dye from the solid pieces.
  • You can either use the liquid directly as a dye or further concentrate it by simmering it on low heat until you achieve the desired intensity.
  • If you prefer a thicker consistency, mix the beetroot dye with cornstarch or flour until you get a paste-like consistency.

 Note:

  • Adjust the concentration of the beetroot dye according to your preference for a lighter or darker shade of red.
  • Store the eco-friendly red color in a sealed container in the refrigerator when not in use.

This natural red color is safe to use and adds a vibrant touch to your Holi celebrations without harming the environment or your skin. Enjoy your eco-friendly Holi!

Female Holi Tips for a Safe & Fun Festival

Is Holi Safe for Female Travelers?

One of the biggest questions female travelers ask is: Is Holi safe for solo women? While no place in the world is completely risk-free, the good news is that with the right precautions, you can have an amazing and safe Holi experience.

As a female traveler, I personally had a fantastic time celebrating Holi! While Holi can be chaotic, crowded, and sometimes overwhelming, the key is preparation. You might feel out of your comfort zone, but thatโ€™s part of the adventure. With these Holi safety tips for female travelers, youโ€™re set to have a fun, memorable, and safe celebration!

Best Places for Female Travelers to Celebrate Holi in India

India comes alive with color during Holi, but choosing the right location is key. Some places attract more foreigners, making them safer and more welcoming for solo female travelers.

Top destinations for female travelers:

  • Pushkar:ย One of the most popular spots for international travelers. Itโ€™s lively, colorful, and full of energy! However, it gets busy, so book accommodations in advance.
  • Rishikesh:ย A safe and spiritual destination, ideal for female solo travelers. I celebrated Holi here in 2019 and highly recommendย Shiv Shakti Hostelย for a fun, friendly experience.
  • Udaipur & Jodhpur:ย These cities in Rajasthan are great for backpackers and solo female travelers looking for a more relaxed yet vibrant Holi celebration.

Holi Safety & Preparation Tips for Women

1. Find a Girl Gang (Or Any Group!)

Holi is more fun with friends! Celebrating in a group enhances your experience and provides an extra layer of safety. If youโ€™re traveling solo, consider staying in a hostel to meet other travelers or joining Facebook groups like Girls Love Travel to connect with fellow female travelers.

2. Wear Your Worst Clothes

Holi colors stainโ€”permanently! Hereโ€™s how to handle it:

  • Wearย cheap, light-colored clothingย (white is traditional and looks great in photos!).
  • Be prepared toย donate or dispose ofย your Holi outfit afterward.
  • Avoid wearing anything expensive or sentimental.

3. Protect Your Skin & Hair

  • Apply coconut or mustard oilย to your skin and hair before heading out to prevent color stains.
  • Useย waterproof sunscreenย to protect against sun exposure.
  • Wear aย scarf or capย to keep color out of your hair.

4. Bring Sunglasses

Even if itโ€™s cloudy, wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from powder colors, which can sting and cause irritation.

5. Stay Hydrated & Eat Beforehand

Holi is an exhausting festival, and many cafes close for celebrations. Stay energized by:

  • Eating a good meal beforehandย to avoid feeling weak.
  • Carrying a water bottleย to stay hydrated.
  • Taking advantage ofย free food offerings, a Holi tradition in many places.

6. Locate a Safe Space or Meeting Point

Crowds at Holi can be overwhelming, and phone signals can be unreliable. Before the celebrations begin, set a meeting point with friends in case you get separated.

7. Carry Minimal Valuables

Holi is a messy festival, and carrying too many valuables isnโ€™t a good idea.

  • Keep essentials in aย bum bag or crossbody bagย for security.
  • Leave expensive gadgets at your accommodation.
  • If you bring your phone, use aย waterproof pouchย to protect it from colors and water.

8. Be Cautious with Bhang & Alcohol

Holi celebrations often include bhang (a cannabis-based drink) and alcohol. If youโ€™re not used to it, it can be overwhelming. Only consume what youโ€™re comfortable with and avoid accepting drinks from strangers.

9. Be Ready to Get Messy!

The best way to enjoy Holi is to embrace the chaos. Expect colors to be thrown at you, sometimes even smeared on your face and hair. Most of it is in good spirit, but if someone makes you uncomfortable, firmly say โ€œNoโ€ and move away.

10. Head Out Early

Holi celebrations start early in the morning and slow down by the afternoon. By lunchtime, streets begin to clear, and cafes reopen. To get the best experience, join the fun right after breakfast and wrap up before crowds get too intense.

Post-Holi Cleanup: Removing Stains from Hair & Skin

After Holi, you might find your skin and hair stained in bright colors. Hereโ€™s how to clean up:

  • Prevention is key:ย Applying oil before playing makes it easier to wash off colors.
  • Use gentle cleansers:ย Harsh scrubbing can irritate your skin. Opt for a mild soap and warm water.
  • For hair stains:ย Mix lemon juice with a mild shampoo and rinse thoroughly.
  • Keep showering daily:ย Some stains may take a few days to fade, but they will eventually disappear!

Whatโ€™s Holi All About?

Holi is more than just a festival of colorsโ€”itโ€™s a cultural celebration of good triumphing over evil. The night before Holi, bonfires are lit to symbolize the burning away of negativity, inspired by the mythological story of Hiranyakashyapa and his son Prahlad.

The next morning, people gather to throw colors, dance, and celebrate the arrival of spring. The festival promotes joy, forgiveness, and unityโ€”making it one of the most magical experiences in India.

Final Thoughts: Enjoy Holi with Confidence!

Holi is an unforgettable festival, and with these safety tips, you can fully enjoy the experience while staying secure.

ย Get ready to celebrate, embrace the colors, and make amazing memories!

9 Essential Holi Safety Tips for Parents to Protect Their Children

Holi, the festival of colors, brings joy, laughter, and vibrant celebrations. While children eagerly await the fun of splashing colors, parents often worry about their safety. From water balloons and pichkaris to friendly color fights, Holi can pose risks if not celebrated with caution.

To ensure your child enjoys a safe and joyful Holi, follow these essential parenting tips:

1. Opt for Organic Colors

Avoid synthetic colors that contain harmful chemicals. Instead, choose non-toxic, organic, natural, or herbal colors, which are gentler on your childโ€™s skin and easier to wash off.

2. Say No to Water Balloons

While playing with balloons may seem fun, they can cause serious injuries, especially if thrown forcefully. Educate your child about the dangers of water balloons and encourage the use of pichkaris (water guns) for a safer Holi experience.

3. Protect Their Eyes with Goggles

Holi colors can be harsh on the eyes, leading to irritation or infections. Equip your child with funky protective goggles to safeguard their vision while enjoying the festivities.

4. Dress Them in Protective Clothing

Make your child wear full-sleeved shirts and long pants to minimize skin exposure to colors. This simple precaution can prevent allergies and skin irritations.

5. Prioritize Skincare

Apply a generous amount of petroleum jelly or moisturizer to your childโ€™s skin to create a protective barrier. Use coconut oil on their hair and scalp to prevent color absorption and make washing easier.

6. Teach Them Water Etiquette

Before they start playing, teach your child to avoid targeting peopleโ€™s faces with water guns. Reinforce the importance of consent, ensuring they respect othersโ€™ choices and do not force unwilling friends to participate.

7. Keep Emergency Contacts Handy

Be prepared for unexpected situations by keeping the contact details of your pediatrician and the nearest hospital readily available. Holi festivities can sometimes lead to minor accidents or allergic reactions.

8. Establish a No-Play Zone Near Food

Even natural colors can be harmful when ingested. Ingesting color powders can lead to food poisoning or allergic reactions. Educate your child on the importance of avoiding oral contact with colors.

9. Supervise Their Playtime

Keep a close watch on your child while they play to prevent any untoward incidents. While they may not appreciate the monitoring, reassure them that itโ€™s for their safety and your love for their well-being.

Celebrate Holi with Safety and Joy

Holi is a time for vibrant celebrations, delicious treats, and unforgettable moments. By following these safety tips, you can ensure your child has a fun-filled and safe experience. Wishing you a colorful, joyous, and safe Holi!
