Holi 2016: Pink City soaked in various hues

The Pink City on Thursday soaked in various hues with revellers thronging streets and smearing each others' faces with colours to celebrate Holi.

The festive fervour was on display in several parts of the state capital as people came out of their homes and danced to the beat of drums, enjoying the festival of colours and traditional delicacies.

Wearing clothes dyed in hues, people visited friends and relatives to exchange greetings and smeared 'gulal' on each other's faces.

Children, too, played with colours and had a splash of coloured water with 'pichkaris' of various shapes and designs.

Meanwhile, 27 BJP MLAs from Uttarakhand also enjoyed the festival in Jaipur, where they have assembled to chalk out their future strategy amid political crisis in their state.

On the other hand, about 70 persons were reported injured in Holi-related incidents in the city.

"Around 70 persons who were injured in various incidents were taken to emergency," a source in SMS hospital said.

Police were deployed in different areas to maintain law and order in the city.
