"Modi water guns (pichkari) are witnessing high demand this time which is a hit among children. In the last two years, we were not able to do business due to COVID-19 hence we were hoping for a bumper sale. But it is not that good but is manageable," said another shopkeeper.

A customer Parul said, "It has been two years that we have not been able to enjoy the festival of colours, so this time we are excited about the festival. My children are demanding the water guns and balloons to play with during Holi."
