Vibrant towers of powdered pigments stand ready for Pushkar's dynamic color markets, where these natural dyes—known as gulal—are sold year-round. While these colors explode across India during the spring festival of Holi, in Pushkar they're also integral to daily religious ceremonies and represent the vivid palette of Rajasthani culture. Each hue carries its own symbolic meaning in Hindu tradition, from the prosperity of yellow to the spiritual awakening of purple.
