How to make Yellow Natural Holi Colour |
| Dry Colour: |
Mix two teaspoons of haldi / Turmeric powder with double amount of besan (gram flour). Haldi and besan are very healthy for our skin, and are also used commonly as a ubtan while taking bath.
You can use the normal haldi or "kasturi" haldi which is very fragrant and has improved therapeutic effects. Besan can be substituted by atta, maida, rice flour, arra rot (ground nut) powder, fuller's earth (multani mitti) and even talcum powder. |

Flowers like Amaltas (Cassia fistula), Marigold / Gainda (Tagetus erecta), Yellow Chrysanthemums, Black Babul (Acacia arabica) yield different shades of yellow.

Dry the rind of the Bael fruit (Aegle marmelos) and grind to obtain a yellow powder. |
