Rishikesh Women Craft 100% Organic Colors from Nature, Safe for Skin

• Women in Rishikesh are creating eco-friendly, 100% organic colors from flowers, vegetables, and leaves.
• Led by Esha Kalura, the group uses traditional methods to extract colors, like red from beetroot and green from spinach.
• The colors are made by cleaning, boiling or grinding natural ingredients, filtering, adding arrowroot, and sun-drying.
• These natural colors are skin-safe, non-irritating, and offer a healthy alternative to chemical colors, especially during festivals like Holi.
• Demand for these affordable, environmentally friendly colors is growing in local markets and surrounding areas, starting from 30 rupees.
