Gulal Gota, traditional balloons for Holi in Jaipur

Jaipur is famous for 'Gulal Gota', made by melting lacquer into a fine membrane balloon. Only a few craftsmen in the city can make Gulal Gota, a tender colour bomb thrown at unsuspecting passerby or a willing player during the festival. The lacquer doesn't hurt, creates minimum mess and can be easily hidden.
