Playing with water can make the floor slippery, which can put the elderly and small children at great risk of falling. Therefore, keep the house completely dry during the festival.
Accidentally thrown water balloons can shock the elderly and cause injury to small children. To avoid accidental injury, keep water guns and balloons away from family gatherings.
Loud music can startle children and cause headaches or anxiety in the elderly. Therefore, play music at low volume. Before playing Holi, apply a light layer of coconut or almond oil on the skin of children and elderly people. It acts as a natural barrier and prevents dry colors from sticking to the skin.
