As February ends, people eagerly await Holi. It is one of the most popular and significant festivals of Hinduism, celebrated with great enthusiasm both domestically and internationally. This festival of colors and joy is not the same for everyone.

Especially if you have children and the elderly in your home, you should keep a few things in mind while celebrating this festival. This article is for those who are celebrating Holi with their children and the elderly. We will tell you about some ways to help you celebrate Holi safely.

Flower Holi
Chemical colors are harmful to everyone, especially children and the elderly. The fine particles in the colors can cause respiratory problems. Therefore, instead of using dangerous chemical colors, you can play Holi with flowers. This traditional practice of Vrindavan is quite safe for children and the elderly as well.

Make Herbal Colors at Home
If you want to celebrate Holi the traditional way, with a splash of color on your cheeks, you can make your own herbal colors at home. You can create a beautiful yellow color by mixing gram flour and organic turmeric powder, while beetroot juice can be used for pink.

Play Holi with Sandalwood
If you want to celebrate Holi symbolically and peacefully, you can use sandalwood. Whether it's children or elders, apply a sandalwood mark on their foreheads. It provides a natural cooling effect and is completely safe.

Make the Festival Memorable with Hand Painting
If you want to try something different and new this Holi, you can do something creative. You can also do hand painting with all the members of the family. This method is fun and safe. You can also keep this painting forever.

Keep these things in mind:
Playing with water can make floors slippery, posing a major fall hazard for the elderly and young children. Therefore, keep the house completely dry during the festival.
Accidentally thrown water balloons can shock the elderly and injure infants. To avoid accidental injuries, keep water guns and balloons away from family gatherings.

Loud music can startle infants and cause headaches or anxiety in the elderly. Therefore, play music at a low volume.

Apply a light layer of coconut or almond oil to the skin of infants and the elderly before playing Holi. This acts as a natural barrier and prevents any dried colors from sticking to the skin.
