Holi Festival 2024: The most special time of the year is approaching and we can't wait for it. One of the biggest festivals in this country will be celebrated a week later. We are looking forward to it with great enthusiasm. Holi is the festival of colors and the time of the year when happiness and joy prevail. Holi celebrates the eternal love and union of Lord Krishna and Radha. It also celebrates the victory of good over evil, the victory of Lord Vishnu over Hiranyakashipu. During this period, people paint each other's faces with color and enjoy the festive spirit. Holi special dishes are prepared at home and enjoyed with friends and family.
However, the colors we use on our faces to celebrate Holi can affect our skin and eyes. Organic colors and herbal colors are safe to play with. You should be careful about the quality of the colors you use. This year Holi festival will be celebrated on March 25th. As we get ready to celebrate the festival of colors, here are some ways to create natural colors that you can play with completely safely at home.
