Holi 2025: Holi is a major Hindu festival, which is a symbol of colors, love, and happiness. This festival is celebrated all over India. This time Holi will be celebrated on March 14.
As soon as Holi arrives, there is fun and colors everywhere. Children start running here and there with pichkaris and gulal. But in this entire celebration, we unknowingly waste a lot of water. So can't Holi be enjoyed without wasting water? Of course, it can be! Let's know some easy ways, by which you can enjoy Holi to the fullest and also save water.
Play dry Holi
If you want to stop wasting water on Holi, then the best way is to play dry Holi. Holi should be played only with gulal and light colors so that there is no wastage of water. This will not only save water but also save the extra water used in washing clothes and cleaning.
Play Holi with herbal colours
The cheap colours available in the market contain chemicals. Which can be harmful for our skin and eyes. Also, when these colours dissolve in water, it also harms the environment. Therefore, use herbal colours made from turmeric, sandalwood, flower leaves and other natural things. These are safe and also get washed off easily.
Holi of flowers
If you like water Holi more, then you can play Holi of flowers instead. This Holi is also played in Vrindavan and Barsana. It not only looks beautiful but also there is no wastage of water.
Children often pour buckets full of water in excitement. Due to which thousands of litres of water is wasted. Running water continuously from the pipe also causes a lot of harm. If you have to use a pichkari, then fill less water in it and avoid wasting water unnecessarily.
Holi is not only our festival but everyone's festival. Therefore, involve your friends and family in this initiative of saving water. Explain to children how important water is and tell your friends and relatives to play eco-friendly Holi this time. The real fun of Holi is in getting drenched in colours with loved ones but this does not mean that we waste more water than necessary. If we play Holi with a little wisdom, then the fun of the festival will remain and water will also be saved.
