February 24, 2009
Holi- the festival of colours is all about wishing happiness in life. During this particular festival, celebrated in India, people use various shades of colours to greet each other.
The colour represents happiness and a wish of a colourful life ahead. To celebrate this age-old festival, people used to use all natural colours. However, with the time, the use of synthetic and chemical colours has increased. As a consequence of that, the skin bears the brunt.
Here in this article, I would talk about how to make natural colours for playing a safe Holi festival, which is only few days ahead. For making various shades of colours, the only ingredient you need is the gram flour or whole wheat flour or all purpose flour.
If you want yellow colour then it is quite simple. Yes take 1 cup of flour and mix it up with half cup of turmeric powder. If you want to make a perfumed colour then you can add talcum powder in it to get a nice smell.
If you want saffron colour then you need some marigold flower, which is needed to be boiled thoroughly. Keep that water over night untouched. The next day, mix the water with the flour, mixed with a little bit of turmeric and let them dry. Once the flour is dried, your saffron colour is ready.
If you need green colour then mix the flour with henna powder. Add henna according to the shade of green you want.
If you want red colour then hibiscus flower can give you that shade. Yes, make a paste of the hibiscus flower and mix with a bit of water and then mix it with the flour. To get the red colour, you can use beat root. Yes, keep the chopped beat root in water overnight and use the water to mix up with flour.
