1. Play with Natural Colors
Ditch chemical-based colors and opt for homemade, organic, or herbal Holi colors. Enjoy smearing vibrant colors on your loved ones while keeping it safe for skin and the environment.
2. Water Balloon & Pichkari Fun.
Kids love playing with water balloons and pichkaris (water guns). Fill them with colored water and have an exciting splash battle with your family in an open area.
3. Traditional Holi Puja
Start your celebrations with a small puja, offering prayers to Lord Krishna and Radha. Some families also follow the tradition of Holika Dahan (bonfire) the night before Holi to symbolize the victory of good over evil.
4. Enjoy Delicious Holi Sweets & Drinks.
Holi is incomplete without traditional sweets and drinks like:
- Gujiya (sweet dumplings)
- Thandai (a cooling milk-based drink)
- Malpua (Indian pancakes)
- Dahi Bhalla (spiced yogurt dumplings)
- Pakoras (crispy fritters)
5. Dance to Bollywood Holi Songs
Create a Holi playlist with classic Bollywood Holi songs like:
- “Rang Barse” (Silsila)
- “Holi Ke Din” (Sholay)
- “Balam Pichkari” (Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani)
- “Jai Jai Shivshankar” (War)
Turn up the volume and dance with your family for an energetic celebration!

Ask your family to wear white outfits to capture stunning color-splashed pictures. Holi is the perfect time to create joyful and lively photo memories.
8. Play Holi with Flowers

9. Spend Quality Time with Loved Ones.
Holi is about bonding with family and friends. Visit your relatives, exchange sweets, and spread happiness by wishing each other a joyful festival.
10. Give Back to the Community
Celebrate Holi with underprivileged kids or elderly people in old-age homes. Share sweets, colors, and love to make their festival special too. Acts of kindness make Holi even more meaningful.
May the vibrant colors of Holi fill your life with joy, love, and happiness. Wishing you a festival full of laughter, fun, and sweet moments with your loved ones. Let’s celebrate the spirit of togetherness and positivity. Happy Holi! May your life be as colorful as this beautiful festival!
