Organic colours, local drinks and a whole lot of fun at Holi events

Organic colours, local as well as national artiste lineup, summer drinks and more – party planners went all out while organising Holi events this year. A lot of the party planners foccused on using only organic colours to ensure safety for their guests and also the environment. "We wanted people to enjoy, and be safe at the same time, and also not destroy nature while we celebrate.It's a festival of colours and we wanted to spread some joy after the dark times we've been through. We had urrack, which is the flavour of the season, and had a lot of food for guests. Usually we would host a private party (only on invites), but this time we kept it open to public also (they could pay and get in)," says Kenneth Rebello, from a nightclub in North Goa. Kushal Dabolkar who hosted a Holi party adds, "We didn't allow people to carry any colours, and focussed on only using organic colours." Fred D'souza who was helping plan an event adds, "We had deals on summer drinks because of the beat wave. We had a neon party indoors, and played with colours outdoors."
