Gifts for Holi


Almost everyone loves to play Holi in different ways possible. If you want to do something unique on Holi this year, here are five Holi celebration ideas you can follow '€“

1. Have an Eco-friendly Holika Dahan


A Holi-related ritual is to celebrate the triumph of good over evil in the form of huge bonfire lit on the streets. Holika Dahan is celebrated by burning Holika, which is a pyre made of wooden logs. Holi celebrates the killing of Holika by Vishnu in order to save Prahlad, who was a devotee of God Vishnu.

But thousands of trees are cut down to get wood logs for this ritual. To save the environment, you can think of performing Holika Dahan in an eco-friendly way. Buy fewer woods for this ritual, but arrange more cardboard, coconut waste, and cow dung cakes. Also, you should make others know about this eco-friendly way to perform Holika Dahan to save the environment.

2. Play with Organic Holi Colors


Without colors, Holi celebrations will feel incomplete. But it is not good to play it with colors that can cause harm to your skin. Some cheap, low-quality Holi colors are also available in the markets that have harmful chemicals in them. They can cause skin allergies and rashes. To be on the safe side, avoid buying them at all. Instead, buy organic Holi colors which are made of leaves, flower petals and bark of plants.  They won't do any harm to your body.

3. Plan a Holi Party
