The mornings of Holi set a different joy into our hearts! As the morning dawns, the white clothes in our wardrobe await to be painted with the vibrant gulals of Holi. The flute-sized color-playing syringes wait to splash colors on everything that looks clean on this day and our heart echoes with joy as we wait to celebrate another year of a colorful day flooded with a ton of memories. Holi is an important festival that rejoices in the beauty of the spring or the harvest season and has its roots in Hindu Mythology. This day is popularly termed DOLYATRA in Hindi, which signifies the day when Lord Shree Krishna and goddess Radha would play with the colors. But originally, Holi Gulals were extracted from plant sources unlike now.
The green color was extracted from the neem leaves powder, the red and yellow color was extracted from turmeric, the yellow colors were extracted from the petals of marigold, the pink from roses, the blue from indigo, and other colors were also extracted from different plant sources. These colors were organic and were made completely from herbs. But in modern times, to make the colors more vibrant gulal, 95% of the holi gulal manufacturers rely on cornstarch blended with chemical grade dyes that bring forth cheap colors but with a huge cost! That is, they are not skin-friendly, eco-friendly, and not safe for children or animals. Some Indian gulal colors may also contain toxic, metal-based pigments, etc. which are extremely harmful to us. This is why we should buy gulal powder only from manufacturers who assure to deliver superlative quality organic colors made from herbs and plant sources. Given below are qualitative features of organic gulal colors that make us prefer them over the chemically manufactured gulals-
- Easy to clean and wash
