How Kalla's Organic Holi Colours Made ?

Holi, the vibrant festival of colors, is a celebration that signifies the arrival of spring and the triumph of good over evil. As we prepare for this joyous occasion, one of the most delightful aspects is the use of colors, or Gulaal, which bring life and energy to the festivities. But have you ever wondered how Holi colors are made? In this guide, we will explore the fascinating process behind these colorful powders, focusing on natural and eco-friendly methods that align with our commitment to sustainability.

The Importance of Natural Colors

In recent years, the awareness around the harmful effects of synthetic colors has grown significantly. Many individuals have experienced adverse reactions, such as rashes and allergies, from conventional Holi colors. This has led to a rising demand for natural and skin-safe alternatives. At Kalla, we believe in celebrating Holi with colors that are not only vibrant but also safe for you and the planet.

How Are Holi Colors Made?

Creating natural Holi colors can be a fun and fulfilling activity. Let’s delve into the various methods and ingredients used to make these beautiful powders.

1. Ingredients for Natural Gulaal

Natural Holi colors are typically made from a variety of plant-based ingredients. Here are some common sources:

2. The Process of Making Holi Colors

Making your own Holi colors can be simple and rewarding. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Collect the flowers, herbs, and spices you wish to use. Ensure they are organic and free from any chemicals.

Step 2: Drying the Ingredients

Wash the flowers and herbs thoroughly. Spread them out in a sunny spot to dry completely. This process can take a few days, but it’s essential for achieving vibrant colors.

Step 3: Grinding

Once dried, grind the ingredients into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or a grinder. The finer the powder, the better it will adhere to the skin.

Step 4: Sifting

Sift the ground powder to remove any large particles. This will ensure a smooth texture that feels gentle on the skin.

Step 5: Storing

Store your natural gulaal in airtight containers to preserve its freshness and vibrancy until Holi.
