The concept of Tilak Holi is to use Gulal (colored talcum-like powder) instead of buckets of colored water during the hindu festival of colors, Holi. The idea is just apply a Tilak mark on the person's forehead, and giving up use of water balloons, water sprays, and excessive colors (which takes much water to wash off).
