Rourkela, March 15: While playing Holi with herbals and natural colours, has been the call of the time amid the rampage of inorganic and toxic colours, yet it needs further innovation for better enjoyment of the cultural festivity.
The NITians in Rourkela, Odisha have added a raw innovation to the natural ingredients, in this Holi, with natural hue of soil and mud, involving the mother earth in the celebration.
Abbrogating the innatural & inorganic colours even the repealing herbal products including wide spectrums of turmeric paste, green pulps and tomato ketchups, the techies took to the pool, full of mud to play Holy among friends and classmates.
Meanwhile, the NITians smeared each other with natural hues and splashed around in muddy water, making the festival soothing, safe and enjoyable.
On chosing, experimenting with the gift of nature and adopting mud to adjoin it with the rich Indian culture & tradition, one of the techies opined that everything but the nature, has got something negative.
In no way the ‘Mother Earth’ and its ingredients are harmful for men and animal.
Another NITian said, If the 'Multani Mitti' is a natural way for facial gloss and care, the mud sedimented in waterbodies in India, is a healer of most of the skin diseases. It has been yet utilized in rural areas, to shampoo hairs and bodies, rejecting the shiny propagandas of brands of cosmetics and inorganic body products.
