7 Tips for Celebrating a Safe and Colorful Holi

The Indian festival of colors, Holi, is the celebration of the arrival of spring and the end of winter season in the Indian subcontinent. The celebration mainly includes playing with colors, singing & dancing, beating drums, savoring sweet dishes and visiting family & friends. While all the festivals in India are celebrated with music and sweets, the use of colors makes Holi extra special. People of all ages enjoy playing with colors. Activities like painting faces with bright colors, drenching your friends with water gun and water-filled balloons are enjoyed by all; kids and elders. This colorful merriment, however, comes to an end when you realize the damage it has caused while you were having fun with the bright colors. You might have observed the colorful stains that Holi colors leave on you, your vehicles and sometimes even inside your home. Many a times it also happens that, the valuables in your home and the expensive parts of your vehicle get broken while celebrating Holi. So, here’re some safety tips that can help you celebrate this colorful festival without having to worry about any damages.
