Good to see the messages from CM Dhami and PM Modi. Holi is a beautiful part of our culture. But I hope the celebrations are also mindful of water conservation, especially in places like Uttarakhand. Let's play a dry Holi or use natural colours.

While the greetings are appreciated, I wish our leaders would also highlight the deeper message of Holika Dahan – the victory of good over evil and standing up for what's right in our society today. The festival is more than just colours.
