5 organic brands to bet on for a safe and healthy Holi

With the festival of colours just a day away, Holi lovers are looking forward to spending a toned down day celebrating with colours, fun and sweets. And with the pandemic still hanging over like a dark cloud, no amount of precaution will be enough. Many people are going the extra mile to make sure they do not risk inviting unnecessary health complications by utilising colours with added chemicals.    

YS Weekender has carved out a list of five organic brands, right from the ones dealing in skincare to tempting sweets, to make your Holi not only joyful but local and organic too.
