Holi Safety Tips
Play responsively and be safe to one another.
Use natural colors, if that’s not possible then ensure a better quality of colors.
Use more of red or pink colors which look good and can be easily taken off.
Make sure that your face is well creamed before and after the play.
Oil your hair well, so that color doesn’t stick on your hair and can be washed off easily later.
Cover your hair. Wear hat or caps to protect your hair from hard-to-rinse dyes.
Use a sunglass to protect your eyes from misfire of colors. Use ear plugs to protect your ears from getting color inside of your ears.
Put on your worst clothes so that you won’t have to take on the hassles of washing it immediately.
This is substance free event (If we find out that you under the influence of drugs and alcohol, you will be asked to leave the celebration.)

HAPPY HOLI☺
