Herbal Holi Colours Gain Popularity Through Workshops and Rural Production in India

Two initiatives in India promote herbal Holi colours to encourage safe, eco-friendly celebrations. In Kurukshetra, a workshop at Dayanand Mahila Mahavidyalaya taught students to make natural colours from palash flowers, turmeric, and beetroot, highlighting health and environmental benefits. Meanwhile, in Prayagraj's rural areas, women self-help groups produce herbal abeer and gulal from palash flowers, generating sustainable income and meeting growing market demand. Both efforts emphasize environmental protection and entrepreneurial opportunities linked to traditional natural ingredients.
