The coloured powder thrown at each other in large quantities is of course some sort or chemicals. Do people feel adverse effects as a result of inhaling it during Holi celebrations?

@Anwar Amjad Holi is played most of the places with organic colors... they are not harmful and only thing they cause is happiness... :)

@Anwar Amjad
Most holi colours are now herbal and have no chemical. There are a few water based colours that people use which are actually harmful, but all powder colours are safe.
