We all look forward to ways of celebrating Holi, right? And if you were wondering how to celebrate Holi at home this year, we’ve got you!

Lighting The Holika

The first step to getting into the Holi spirit is by making the Holi fire. Collect multiple wooden sticks and stack them up together to make a bonfire. Call all your friends and family and light it up. If you’re younger than 18, then please ask an adult to do it. This ritual is performed a day before the actual Holi day and is also known as Choti Holi (Small Holi). This is best way to celebrate holi.

 

Preparing For Holi

The next step is to prepare for Holi. What are your plans to celebrate holi? Will you be celebrating it at home or at a friend’s house? Prepare accordingly.

At Home:

If you have people coming to your place, then make sure that you have enough food and beverages for all of them. 

Keep some dry colour handy so that if anyone comes empty-handed, three’s more than enough for everybody.

At BFF’s Place:

If you’re planning to celebrate Holi with your girls, then make sure you are well prepared. Choose an outfit that you wouldn’t mind throwing away.

Carry some dry colours, water balloons, water sprays ‘coz more the merrier!
