Holi in Amdavad: Pictures of Tomatina theme Dhuleti
March 06, 2015
Ahmedabad, DeshGujarat
Colours ruled the streets today as people of all ages celebrated Holi across Gujarat and joined the revelry applying ‘gulal’ on each other, gorging on sweets and singing and dancing to songs and drum beats. People embraced each other wishing ‘Happy Holi’ as unseen hands squirted them with a well-timed coloured water spray. Water-filled balloons were lobbed from rooftops and balconies as cries of ‘Holi hai’ reverberated the streets. The festival, the harvest festival which heralds the advent of spring, is celebrated to commemorate the Hindu mythological tale of Prahlada emerging unscathed from the flames despite being drawn into the fire by demoness Holika. The Hindu month of ‘Phagun’ ended yesterday with ‘Holika Dahan’. Presented below are pictures from ‘Tomatina’ theme Dhuleti organized in a private club in Ahmedabad. A tent was set up with huge stock of tomatoes. The actual fun of throwing tomatoes completed in a few minutes as the stock was over.
