Colours will be purchasable on-site. \nColours are only to be thrown within designated areas. \nOnce you have colours on you\, you will not be allowed in any internal areas of Temple & Sri Krishna Haveli. \nDo not throw colours in people’s eyes or mouth. It is even more fun to rub the colours into the hair\, back of the neck and cheeks with permission.  \nDo not throw colours on any passing cars\, or on any performers\, musicians\, employees\, market stall holders etc.  \nFestival goers are advised to think twice before going into the middle of the crowd when the colours are first thrown. If you have not been before or have asthma\, being smack in the middle of the crowd will be a challenge. Stay close to the edges\, and have a cloth to cover your nose and mouth for the first three minutes. \nUnder no circumstances should small children be in the middle of the crowd\, unless high on the shoulders of an adult\, and wearing the right protection. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCan I bring my own colours?\n\n\n\nOutside colours will be confiscated and will not be allowed on onsite. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow much does it cost to participate?\n\n\n\nNo entry charge. A free ticket will be required if you wish to participate in the Festival of Colours. Please note that there will be colours to purchase on the day for you to use \nTickets will be released: Monday 27 June \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat times will the Festival of Colours take place?\n\n\n\n6pm & 8pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat should I wear?\n\n\n\nThe dry powders supplied may stain hair & clothes\, so festival goers are cautioned not to wear their best clothes. To avoid and/or minimise stain\, vigorously shake out all dry excess powder before stepping into a shower\, or throwing your clothes in the wash. Once the caked dry colours get wet\, it is hard to get out. However\, if one can shake as much as possible out while dry\, there is a good chance of not having coloured hair for the next month. \nIt is recommended to wear a dust mask / bandana / sunglasses to cover areas of your face to avoid powder entering your eyes\, mouth and nose. \nDo not wear contact lenses during the Festival of Colours. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIs the Festival of Colours suitable for children?\n\n\n\nThere is no age limit\, that is at the discretion of the parents / guardians. \nUnder no circumstances should small children be in the middle of the crowd\, unless high on the shoulders of an adult\, and wearing the right protection. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWill I be able to book a ticket for the Festival of Colours on the day itself?\n\n\n\nOnly if tickets are still available \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat happens if it rains?\n\n\n\nWe will only cancel the event if weather conditions do not allows us to park vehicles \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWill there be parking available?\n\n\n\nYes.
