Elephant and Holi festivals; Jaipur - 5 March

Well the first slideshow with some video. The video was taken in the City Palace at Jaipur. The King and Queen come out and sit down. A very large bonfire is lit in front of them. Suddenly about 100 men appear with torches to light from the bonfire. As soon as these are lit they RACE off shouting to the gate of the Palace where motorcycles are waiting which take them off to their districts where they light their local bonfires. Mad and exciting!
