Festivals are a source of great joy in India. Holi, the festival of colours, is one such important event. It is arguably the most fun-filled and boisterous of all Hindu festivals. However, it has been observed that residential societies waste a lot of water during Holi every year.
People should be asked to play only with dry colours. They should avoid colours which are mixed with harmful chemicals as these may lead to skin diseases and even cause blindness if they get into the eyes. Everyone should take care not to waste water while celebrating Holi. Every drop of water is precious, and costs money.
