5-Makeup or no makeup?

You already know how messy it is going to be, right? hence makeup is more important on this day than any other function. It will help to protect your skin from the dangerous chemicals. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen on your face and all visible body parts. Bold eyes will definitely enhance your looks even after you have been covered in colours. Use waterproof eye makeup that includes waterproof and smudge proof eyeliner or mascara. Keep your makeup light and just a bit of lip balm will do the job.

6-For beautiful long nails

Who wants to get their nails all dirty becuse of colours? Noone does , right?  It is the perfect occasion to wear colourful nail extensions on each nail for a change. Go for dark colors so that will be visible. Also extensions will protect your nails to stay away from dust and harmful colors.

7-Heels free foot

Totally avoid wearing heals and find some comfortable rubber shoes.  Make sure that the sole of the slippers or sneakers are strong so that  there won’t be any chance of slipping in them. If you are carrying a western look then obviously go for sneakers or pumps and for an eastern dress, go for slippers.

8-Long clean hair

Hair can get really damamged from harsh Holi colours.  Use coconut oil to prevent  penetration of chemicals on your scalp.  Apply it on hair only to prevent the damaging of hair cuticle and cortex. For a cool funky look tie a bandana around your head.

India being a land of diverse culture leads to the celebration of this splendid festival differently.

Vrindavan is the first name that comes to everyone’s mind when it comes to Holi celebration. It marks a grand celebration with huge processions of people smeared in different colors dancing to the tunes of the musicians.

On the ekadashi before Holi, the city celebrates Phoolon wali Holi where flowers are thrown at the devotees by the temple priests. Another unique celebration of Holi is the Widow’s Holi that allows the widow’s to play with colors.

 Another city is Jaipur, thanks to the effort taken by Rajasthan Tourism that organizes special events for visitors. This event features Rajasthani folk dance, song performances, and a festive lunch.

Apart from that every year, Jaipur’s Holi festival begins with a massive parade including elaborately decorated elephants, camels, horses, and folk dancing through the streets. Being an important festival you’ll find activities taking place almost everywhere in India ranging from traditional temple rituals to modern parties with DJs, bhang, and plenty of colors.
