Bursting with a bounty of colours, Holi brings loved ones together and infuses them with a vigorous spirit. Marking the victory of good over evil, the Hindu spring festival is celebrated with enthusiasm and gaiety on the full moon day in the month of Phalgun. Friends and family play with colours that day, throw water balloons and munch on a variety of snacks.
Answer:
Traditionally, spring flowers were used as a source of colours for Holi, but with time artificial colours have replaced these natural ingredients. For yellow, turmeric powder was used, hibiscus flowers made for the red colour and henna was for green. But today, markets are flooded with expensive artificial colours with chemical solvents mixed in them. In the name of fancy products, dark shades like green, violet and black are bottled-up copper sulphate, mercury sulphite and lead oxide in high content.
Explanation:
Red symbolizes love and fertility; yellow is the color of turmeric, a powder native to India and used as a natural remedy; blue represents the Hindu God Krishna; and green is for new beginnings.
