This couple on a bicycle riksha was obviously on their way from a Holi party. Taken in Old Delhi, outside Jama Masjid, on the 1st of March 2010.
These bicycle rikshas are really handy on the narrow alleys of Old Delhi Market, including Chandni Chowk. Although even these rikshas get caught in "traffic" sometimes. But it is an experience to sit on one and observe the busy streets and shops with gold saris, spices, jewellery, and what ever else is there is on sale...
By the way, if you wanna experience Delhi without traffic, try Holi day. Totally surreal to travel on street normally jam packed with cars, trucks, people and rikshas and what not, and they are almost totally empty!
For those of you not familiar with Holi, it is basically a spring festival, festival of colours, people throwing colour powders, or coloured water on each other.
