In Kosikalan, Mathura, children will get the opportunity to be as thrilled as in Diwali during Holi. Color and atomizer companies have also made firecrackers to burn in Holi, which when burnt will emit light of one, two or three colors. There is colorful fog spray and scented gulal with water soluble colors, which people will enjoy blowing on anyone, while even the clothes will not get wet.
This time, along with Baba’s bulldozer, there will be a shower of gulal from the fire cylinder model pichkari. Companies have made some new experiments in the tradition of color and gulal in Holi. This time’s Holi seems to be colored in election colours. Yogi-Maadi’s photo is also printed on the tank’s Pichkari, while Double Engine Government is written below it. Shopkeepers say that earlier red colored gulal was sold more, but this time saffron colored gulal is being sold more. Saffron patka was sold well in the consecration of Shri Ram temple on January 20, after that for the first time this patka will be seen on Holi also, on which Happy Holi is written. Saffron colored caps and turbans are also being sold well. There are different types of masks as well as party wear masks. Herbal Gulal with colors is being sold more.
\Businessman Ranu Garg told that firecrackers will also be burnt during Holi. On burning two in one crackers, light of two and three colors will be seen simultaneously. This time Color Fool Fog Spray is also selling more. The market trend is indicating that dry gulal will be used more instead of soaked Holi.
Trader Main Bazar Gauri Aggarwal said that the demand for BJP Pichkari and fire cylinder is high during Holi. This time, saffron patka with Happy Holi written on it has been sold more. People associated with the party are buying it in bulk, while others are also buying patka. Apart from Modi-Yogi, there is no mention of the name of any other leader.
