Unlike the Ganesha festival, newspapers do not devote the space needed or the energy needed to propagate using eco-friendly colours for Holi.
It was not until the evening of Holi that I discovered the use of Tesu flowers, shown by a news channel. Here is the link from Clean India, Times of India and Hindu.About.com
Tesu flowers are said to have been used by Lord Krishna, but shop-keepers sellings it dried complained that the demand for these flowers had come down.
Ironic. Because the demand should have actually gone up.
