Throwing colours and water has become a thing of the past. This festival season, download a water gun instead and spread the joy digitally. By Team Viva
Gone are the days when gulaal and water balloons were the top selling products, the markets in the city are flooded with innovative items to woo customers.
With Kejriwal pichkaris, Angry Bird sunglasses that squirt water, and various apps to celebrate Holi, revellers are spoiled for choice this festive season.
Shopkeepers also said that herbal and organic colours, priced a notch higher than the regular gulaal, have not lost their appeal among the more skin-conscious citizens and are selling like hotcakes.
But if you don’t want to play Holi in the traditional way, smartphone apps can come to your rescue. Many youngsters, some with the noble aim of saving water and others to enjoy the latest in technology, have downloaded digital pichkaris on their phones via Holi Pichkari Shooting Game app which allows you to select a pichkari and the colour of sprinkled water.
Other android apps such as Holi photo frames 2016, Holi Videos, Holi Katha app, Holi Clock, Happy Holi-Colour your photo, and Applock Theme - Holi Festival are also quite popular among smartphone users.
