The appearance of the day before the Holy Festival where all colors are stained with color powder and colored water is like this

The Hindu Spring Festival where people and streets are colorfully stained with no coloring or coloring waterHoley Festival. March 20th was Holey in 2014, but in the city of India there has been a Holey mood since one week ago, so people who visited India without knowing anything say "Happy Holy!" As a result, it is possible to apply coloring powder. On the 16th, the day before Holey, everyone finally comes to life, so I experienced Holey Eve in two cities, Delhi and Matler.

Delhi city on the 16th which is Holey Eve. It is peace itself without walking on color powder.


When I was walking in the city I found a boy holding a water balloon.


I was pretending to throw a water balloon, but I was never actually thrown.


I found a color powder store.


Color powder put in vinyl and colorful spray cans etc are sold.


Completely.


Children also sell color powder.



I will pretend to aim with water guns, but I was not attacked after all.


My older brother driving a rickshaw is wrapping cloth around her face. For what? I thought that ... ....


Because it would be like this without cloth.


Sometimes I saw a person dyed in pink with color powder and color water, but the city of Delhi is relatively quiet Hooley Eve. On Holey's day it is said that "tourists are better at staying at the hotel one day." It is a day when it is said that the day before, it does not seem to be a problem. When asked the local people, Horley of the city where there is a business district such as Delhi is relatively quiet, it is said that the more it goes to the countryside, the more it will go up.


Holey's most exciting is the city north of Delhi "Matler" and "Brindavan", so I left Delhi in the afternoon.


There is no sign of Horley in the train at all.


I will move to Mathura with a relaxed feeling throughout. The traveling time is about 2 hours.


With Mattler, as I get off the train ......


I found a person who is pink at once.


The Matler station is like this.


There is a person who has become colorful there.


Although I felt Holey color deeper than Delhi already in the station premises, it was exactly right, when I left the station, young people came and gave me colorless powder on my face without mercy It was.


When I was wearing color powder on my face and feeling Holey's air, I discovered my brother who was even more amazing.


Walking around the city where the sun has set.


Restaurants and cafeterias were closed, but shops dealing with grocery and miscellaneous goods are operating normally. You can see Matler's situation at night without Holey.


And after all the stalls of the color powder shop were out.


Completely.


The statue of God is decorated on the way.


Before Holey Gate, Mathura's landmark, it was crowded with people.


The busy cityscape in front of the Holy Gate can be confirmed from the following movies.

Statue of God before Holey Gate.


In front of the statue there is a plate that puts money for money, and my uncle called "Happy Holy" and attached yellow water to my forehead.


Some people did not have color powder at all ... ...


Even people whose whole body is pink.


A boy wearing something like a sparkling hat.


We also sold a lot of garlic.


Some people wore a mask.


Both adults and children can sprinkle with smile on the face with a voice saying "Happy Holy!" Regardless of who they are and coloring the face and head. In addition, I am asking for a handshake, asking for a hug, and it is a very friendly atmosphere.


And after all a lot of color powder was on sale. I am a bit nervous when I think that this large amount of color powder will be consumed in the next day's Holi production.



The state of Horie on the day like a battlefield is as follows.
