The state of exhaustion, after Holi is due to several reasons- dehydration, lethargy, overeating, tiredness after long day of dancing and playing with colours and water. When one indulges in the Holi activities that too under the sun for a long period fo time, it leads to weariness and dehydration. This can also lead to electrolyte balance.
