Gulal Powder: Everything You Want to Know

Gulal powder is a fine, dry colour powder used during Holi and in religious rituals across India. Good gulal is made from a starch base and skin-friendly pigments, which is why it feels soft and washes off easily.  Every Holi, someone tears open a packet of gulal, a soft cloud of colour rises, and soon the whole street is pink, yellow and green.

HOW COCK COLOURS GULAL SPRAY MAKES HOLI MESS FREE AND FUN

Holi has always been about colour, laughter, music, and a little bit of chaos. From throwing handfuls of gulal to splashing coloured water, the festival has a way of turning even the most ordinary afternoon into a celebration.
