It is important to protect eyes from exposure to these colors.

There is no Holi in South India especially In places which are cosmopolitan in my state AP, because of the presence of people from northern states and other states where Holi is celebrated, we see people celebrating Holi. They exchange simple Gulal. Not more than that. And I for one never celebrate holi at all.

Now people play Holi less than before and also do not use chemical colors. But still those who go interiors of Mathura Vrindavan or Agra need be more cautious.

Nice tips for all of us. Hopefully this holi will be fruitful and joyous. I feel the concern of skin comes first when we use colours on our face and body. I would suggest to use good quality colours. Avoid playing with the guys who use harmful elements in the colours. Close your eyes while playing with the colours. Eye protection is equally important for us.

That's true Rambabu.. That's why we don't use such hard colors, only pure Gulal. But unfortunately my friends and few other relatives don't listen to me and they use those chemical colors too....... As it is holi, NO ESCAPE. :pinch:

We can make Gulal from herbs, flowers and fruits.

Hope this helps you all for rang panchami, five days from today!

Now people are more conscious of health hazards. I remember that many years ago, when I was serving in Mathura, office staff used cyclostyling ink toplay holi. My face was blackened with that.
