It’s a festival celebrated by many (mostly men) but the day belongs to the Nihangs. On the day after Holi, the Nihangs unerringly return to the fields of Gurudwara Holgarh Sahib for the festivities to happen. They perform mock battles, dancing menacingly with their swords and standing astride two running horses while throwing colors at the audience.
