Holi will be celebrated across India on 25th March. However, Bengaluru is currently faced with a shortage of water. In light of this shortage, many commercial outlets are promoting a dry Holi for 2024. 

The Dry Holi Campaign has been started by the SP Road Association. This association consists of more than 1500 members. The call for Dry Holi has been unanimous across the association. The SP Road Association has also invited other associations to join them in their campaign for an eco-friendly Holi.  Traders along SP Road and Avenue Road have decided not to use water to celebrate Holi. These are parts of the city where the intensity of Holi celebrations are generally the highest. 

This initiative wants to preserve the culture of celebrating Holi while at the same time also keep in mind the problems faced in the city. How people will respond to this initiative remains to be seen.
