technotimes.info","og_description":"As the festival of colours, Holi, approaches, students of the Department of Microbiology and Biotechnology at Techno India University have taken an eco-friendly step forward. They have successfully created organic Aabir (gulal) using natural flowers such as Marigold, Aparajita, and Rose Petals. This initiative not only brings vibrant colours to the celebration but also ensures safety for both people and the environment. A Natural and Safe Alternative Traditional synthetic colours used during Holi often contain harmful chemicals that can cause skin allergies, respiratory issues, and environmental pollution. Recognizing these concerns, the students worked on developing a sustainable and non-toxic alternative using natural ingredients. By using marigold, aparajita, and rose petals, they have been able to extract rich, vibrant colours without the use of artificial dyes. These flowers were carefully dried, crushed, and processed to create fine, soft aabir that is completely safe for skin and hair. Process of Making Organic Aabir The students followed a systematic process to create these natural colours: Promoting Sustainable Celebrations The initiative taken by Techno India University students encourages a more eco-friendly way of celebrating Holi. Not only does organic aabir prevent harmful effects on human health, but it also reduces water and soil pollution, making it a step towards sustainability. The students hope that their innovation will inspire others to switch to organic colours and promote a more responsible way of celebrating festivals. Their efforts reflect a commitment to science, nature, and environmental consciousness, proving that traditional celebrations can be both joyful and safe. This Holi, let\u2019s celebrate with colours that are not just vibrant but also kind to our skin and nature! Wishing everyone a joyous, colorful, and eco-friendly Holi! May this festival bring happiness, harmony, and vibrant moments to your life. Happy Holi!","og_url":"https:\/\/technotimes.info\/index.php\/2025\/03\/12\/techno-india-university-students-create-organic-aabir-for-a-safe-and-colourful-holi\/","og_site_name":"technotimes.info","article_published_time":"2025-03-12T13:36:17+00:00","article_modified_time":"2025-03-12T13:36:18+00:00","og_image":[{"width":2560,"height":1440,"url":"https:\/\/technotimes.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-04-at-17.11.43_cc56281b-scaled.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Suhani","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Suhani","Est. reading time":"2 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/technotimes.info\/index.php\/2025\/03\/12\/techno-india-university-students-create-organic-aabir-for-a-safe-and-colourful-holi\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/technotimes.info\/index.php\/2025\/03\/12\/techno-india-university-students-create-organic-aabir-for-a-safe-and-colourful-holi\/"},"author":{"name":"Suhani","@id":"https:\/\/technotimes.info\/#\/schema\/person\/52f742aad793dfc02d07f7b001125dad"},"headline":"Techno India University Students Create Organic Aabir for a Safe and Colourful Holi","datePublished":"2025-03-12T13:36:17+00:00","dateModified":"2025-03-12T13:36:18+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/technotimes.info\/index.php\/2025\/03\/12\/techno-india-university-students-create-organic-aabir-for-a-safe-and-colourful-holi\/"},"wordCount":376,"commentCount":0,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/technotimes.info\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/technotimes.info\/index.php\/2025\/03\/12\/techno-india-university-students-create-organic-aabir-for-a-safe-and-colourful-holi\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/technotimes.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-04-at-17.11.43_cc56281b-scaled.jpg","keywords":["Aabir","DepartmentofMicrobiologyandBiotechnology","eco-friendly","holi","Organiccolours","student","Techno India Group","technoindiauniversity"],"articleSection":["Techno India University"],"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/technotimes.info\/index.php\/2025\/03\/12\/techno-india-university-students-create-organic-aabir-for-a-safe-and-colourful-holi\/#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/technotimes.info\/index.php\/2025\/03\/12\/techno-india-university-students-create-organic-aabir-for-a-safe-and-colourful-holi\/","url":"https:\/\/technotimes.info\/index.php\/2025\/03\/12\/techno-india-university-students-create-organic-aabir-for-a-safe-and-colourful-holi\/","name":"Techno India University Students Create Organic Aabir for a Safe and Colourful Holi -
