Holi Celebration Ideas To Enjoy At Home

Holi-A festival of colours is a fun festival in India. It is popular around the world. It is a symbol of victory over evil, welcoming the spring season and sharing a love bond with friends and family. In this holi, are you planning to celebrate Holi at home?  It can be just as fun and colourful as attending Holi parties and events. Today, we bring you a Holi celebration idea to enjoy at home-

1. Organic Colours Play:

Use natural and eco-friendly colours made from flowers, turmeric, beetroot, or other organic materials to play Holi. Choosing organic colour not only adds vibrancy to your celebration but also protects your skin. Chemical-based colours are full of harmful colours which cause skin irritation and rashes after a Holi party. These colours are safe for the skin and the environment.

2. Themed Dress-Up Party:

Add a theme to your party that can be a good twist to your regular celebration. Choose a theme for your Holi celebration and encourage everyone to dress up accordingly. You can try a Bollywood theme, retro disco, traditional wear or colour theme party with a particular colour. Among all, traditional Indian wear, neon colours, or anything else that adds to the festive vibe and is more trendy.

It can be the best-ever Holi celebration for you and your guests. Bring a positive change in society by hosting such parties.

9. Holi Snacks:

To make your Holi festival memorable, prepare a variety of delicious snacks that are both traditional and innovative. Start the most common Holi snack- Gujiyas, a sweet dumpling filled with khoya and dry fruits and thandai,  a refreshing milk-based drink with various spices. Both snacks are ideal for the vibrant atmosphere of Holi. You can give a modern twist by adding edible food colour to it.
