The air in Muzaffarpur is thick with anticipation for Holi, the vibrant festival that brings communities together in a splash of colors. Markets are alive with shoppers hunting for the perfect supplies: shimmering gulal powders, playful pichkaris, and now, surprisingly, face masks featuring PM Narendra Modi.
Reports from Chhata Market reveal that these novelty Modi Masks have been out of stock for about 10 days. Wholesalers are scrambling, but Delhi distributors confirm nationwide shortages.
Local businessman Muntu shared, ‘We got a batch just four days back, and it was gone in hours.’ He points to surging interest in modern Holi gadgets like electric tank guns and high-pressure squirters, which are captivating younger crowds.
Amit Kumar added, ‘Varieties of masks are available, but Modi’s face on them created unmatched hype.’ Traditional items mix with innovations, yet the absence of Modi Masks underscores a unique blend of politics and play.
With Holi around the corner, Muzaffarpur’s vendors assure plenty of alternatives. The sell-out story captures the festival’s joyful spirit laced with a touch of national fervor.
