How to make Natural colours for this HOLI...

Dry Colour:
  • Use mehendi / henna powder, separately or mix with equal quantity of any suitable flour to attain a lovely green shade. Make use only pure mehendi and not the one mixed with amla (meant to be applied to our hair) as this would be brown in colour. Dry mehendi will not leave colour on your face as it can be easily brushed off. 
  • Red Sandal Wood Powder / Raktachandan has a beautiful red colour, is extremely beneficial for the skin and is used in face packs, etc. This can be used instead of Red Gulal.

Wet colour:

  • Mixing a fine paste of leaves like spinach / palak, coriander / dhaniya, mint / pudina, tomato leaves, etc. in water.
  • Put 2 teaspoons of Red Sandal wood powder in a litre of water and boil. Dilute and use.

Play safe. Don't get to boisterous and do not let others to be rude on you.
