As Bengaluru grapples with water scarcity issues, the spirit of Holi remained undeterred in the heart of the city. In Jayamahal, a vibrant dry Holi celebration took centre stage, reflecting the community’s commitment to responsible water usage.

Against the backdrop of dwindling water resources, residents of Bengaluru came together to celebrate Holi in an environmentally conscious manner. Eschewing traditional water-based festivities, the grounds at Jayamahal in city were transformed into a kaleidoscope of colours, as participants joyously engaged in dry holi celebrations.

The festivities kicked off with fervour as Bengalureans of all ages converged at the venue, eager to partake in the jubilant holi atmosphere. From children to elders, everyone joined in the revelry, marking each other with vibrant hues and spreading cheer.

One of the distinguishing features of this dry Holi celebration is the absence of water usage, a conscious decision made in solidarity with the city’s ongoing water conservation efforts. With the water board imposing restrictions on unnecessary water consumption, including Holi festivities, the community has rallied behind the cause of sustainable living.

In lieu of traditional rain dances and pool parties, which typically consume significant amounts of water, the event organizers embraced alternative forms of entertainment. The rhythmic beats of DJ music filled the air, setting the stage for impromptu dance performances by more than 500 attendees.

The success of the dry Holi celebration underscores the collective determination of Bengalureans to adapt to changing environmental realities. By prioritizing conservation over extravagance, the community has demonstrated its resilience in the face of adversity.

Moreover, the ban on the use of Cauvery and borewell water for commercial purposes, including rain dances and pool parties, reflects a growing awareness of the need to safeguard precious water resources for essential needs.

With citizens embracing a dry Holi celebration, they have set an example for sustainable living and responsible stewardship of the environment.
