It's a water day !!


In picture birds enjoying in water at a park near upper lake. Well they are celebrating Rangpanchmi in their own way !!!. As summer moves in this part of India birds and other animals were also seen hiding in for shelter or near wetlands that too are drying up in Bhopal.
Bhopal marks Rangpanchmi
On the fifth day after Holi, in Madhya Pradesh "Rangpanchmi," is celebrated which marks end of festivities involving colours. People apply colour on each other and enjoy the day as summer moves in central India. Being a state holiday state offices in the capital city of Bhopal were closed. Shops in Bhopal were closed during the day but some will open up by evening. For some like nationalised banks, media offices, and central government offices it was working day as it was a state holiday not at the centre.

Youngsters had fun and enjoyed the festivity. For some it is an opportunity to have bhang or beer. For many who do not prefer colour and but had a holiday were seen at places like upper lake or were at home. Bhopal police was in full colour to prevent any untoward incident event and had put both personnel and barricades at many important points in the city. Though some policewala could cough up some extra bucks from younsters driving cars at a high speed or either without licence.
