Celebrate Holi with Natural Colors

Hiranykashyapu tried to kill his son Prahalad because he was devotee of God Vishnu and his father wanted him to worship him but Prahalad did not accept hence Hiranykashyapu asked him to sit in lap of Holika(sister of Hiranyakashyapu). Holika had a boon ,preventing her from being burnt in fire.
           when prahalad sat in pyre in lap of Holika he started chanting name of Vishnu.everyone amazed by seeing that Holika burnt to death and Prahalad survived unharmed.
Hence Holi is celebrated to remember prahalad's unharmed survival.and it left message that if you are a true devotee of god then he will always help you in every situation.
Holi is festival of colours,we apply colours on others face.nature also helps in celebrating Holi.
palash flowers start blooming just before Holi.

Palash flowers are used to make natural colors and which is harmless on the other hand chemical colors are injuries to health.

for example

Green colour is obtained from copper sulphate -which may cause allergies in eye or even temporary blindness.

Purple is obtained from chromium iodide - which may cause bronchial asthma or other forms of allergy.

Silver is obtained from aluminum bromide - a known carcinogenic.

Black is obtained from lead oxide - may cause renal failures or learning disability. 

Red is obtained from mercury sulphite - may cause skin cancer or Minamata disease (mental retardation, paralysis, impaired vision...) 

Shiny Colours are a result of powdered glass being added to the colours. 

so do celebrate Holi with natural colors like gulal etc.
