Colour
manufacturers in Jaipur work overtime for Holi
Jaipur:
With the festival of colours 'Holi' round the
corner, the colour manufacturing units here are working
round-the-clock to meet the increasing demand. Blessed
with some of the finest marble mines in its vicinity,
the easy availability of marble powder used in making
colour (gulal), has been behind Jaipur's success in
making quality dry colours. "Jaipur is considered
as the main hub of gulal as we have an organised production
and supply. Our gulal is famous because of its homogeneity
and sharpness in appearance," said Rajesh Gupta, a
gulal manufacturer. Manufacturers make value additions
to their products to suit the preferences of Holi
revelers. "Our specialty is that the powder used here
has a soft texture. We add scent for fragrance which
attracts the people and they relish the feeling when
they apply gulal on each other," said Vijay Sethia,
another gulal manufacturer. Jaipur has an edge over
manufacturers in other states where starch and certain
additives are used in making gulal. The colours manufactured
here are supplied to various states including Uttar
Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.
Holi is a festival of joy, mirth and buoyancy, and
is celebrated when both man and nature cast off the
winter gloom. Holi heralds the arrival of spring,
the season of hope and new beginnings and marks the
rekindling of the spirit of life.
