Here are a few pictures from the Holi celebration party in Jaipur. Friends and family get together to color each other using colors, Abeer/Gulal. Gulal is a powder prepared using natural substances like flowers, leaves, etc. Gulal has been used traditionally to play Holi. The ancient preparation method involved using organic and herbal ingredients which do not harm the skin. However, most colors are prepared using chemicals and are harmful to the skin.



Here are some more pictures of Holi celebrations in Jaipur.

Jaipur is a great place to capture photos of Holi celebrations in India. It’s not as famous as the celebrations of the Braj region. It has its own charm with people celebrating this festival of color with friends and family.
Awesome pictures 🙂 Happy Holi …

Happy Holi to you also, Alok. It was a relaxed day for me this time. Do you celebrate Holi by playing with colors?

We don’t celebrate much in the US. I guess only those who have their own house do here. And, some temples.

Thank You! It sure is a unique festival.. people used to take liberty in stepping over the usual norms on occassion of holi and it was not objected to…that was long back though, things have changed. But even to this day, holi is associated with being naughty and fun. People would joke about each other and laugh together. So in a way, this festival was different. Thanks for your comments! 🙂
