Holi is one of the most loved festivals in India liked by almost all age groups. It is an auspicious festival where we welcome the good by burning the bad in a bonfire. Unfortunately, we waste a lot of water in its celebration through colors. Water is one of the most precious resources that we have today. Therefore, it becomes our responsibility to save water as much as we can. The celebration of Holi can be a lot of fun even without water. Here are some ideas that you can choose from to play a waterless Holi.

House Party

Our festivals are incomplete without some good food and mouth-watering sweets. So invite your family and friends over and throw a house party. Treat your guests with delicious homemade snacks and sweets to make it a fun filled Holi celebration. Play some Holi related songs and dance it out on your favourite Bollywood beats. Have a blast!

Rangoli Competition

Rangoli is not only meant for Diwali but you make one during Holi too. Since it is a festival of colors, organize a Rangoli making competition for adults and kids. Active participation by all will add a fun element in the celebration.

Flower Holi

Nature has provided us with colorful flowers that are skin friendly, soft and degradable. In fact, it is the best alternative to harmful chemical colors. After you are done with celebration, collect it and dump it around plants and trees. Tesu, a saffron-colored flower is used to play flower Holi in many regions of India such as Lucknow, Pushkar etc.

Tilak Holi

Opt for a Tilak Holi and keep it dry. Prepare your own homemade colors using saffron, sandalwood or turmeric and apply tilak on the forehead and also some on the cheeks to get the feel of Holi. It will work wonders for your skin and prevent useless wastage of water.

Hit the beach

If you want to get the feel of wet Holi, hit the beach. If you stay in a place where there is no beach, plan a short vacation with friends and family to a nearby beach destination. Enjoy with friends and family at a seaside without using any harmful colors.
