Few States where Holi is played greatly

Holi is mainly played in some states including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, West Bengal, Punjab, and Gujarat. In the regions of Mathura, Braj, and Nandagaon (U.P.), the Holi celebration starts a week in advance as they rejoice in an ideal ritual called Lath Maar Holi. Men play around with shields while women beat on them with sticks or laths. The significant part of Holi in U.P. is gujiyas, bhang, thandai, puri sabzi, chaat, malpuas, and laasi. Bengalis convey the Holi festival as Dol Jatra and Odiyas as Basant Utsav. The fun-filled colorful Holi paints the city with popular songs and dances like ‘Balam Pichkari’, ‘Swag Se Swagat’, ‘Badri Ki Dulhaniya’ title track, ‘Holi Ke Din’, ‘Go Pagal’, ‘Ang Se Ang Lagana’, ‘Hori Khele Raghuveera’, ‘Rang Barse’, Aaj Na Chodenge, and ‘Do me A Favor Let’s Play Holi’.

Play Safe Holi

  • Go natural: It’s recommended to everyone who plays Holi to go natural with a variety of available herbal colors, rather than chemical-mixed dyes. You are saved from having allergies or skin rashes after play. Avoid those cheap chemical-based colors. Natural colors are the best and absolutely safe.

  • Wear oil or moisturizing lotion before play: Make sure to put on almond oil or coconut oil on your skin, including your hands and legs, face, and also apply oil to your hair. Girls should tie up their hair with a rubber band before going out to play. Holi colors will leave off the skin soon when you have applied oil before play. Guys and girls can apply moisturizing lotion too and go out to play. Girls can also use waterproof sunscreen to guard their skin against sun damage. One can also wear a cap or a colorful band to cover their hair from being colored by friends.
  • Shop right: Kids and children can buy Holi accessories from shops and online stores like masks, pichkaris, wigs, and glasses. People should purchase colors from trusted places only.
