In Indore’s famous Gautampura, the traditional Hingot battle during Dhok Padwa lasted nearly one and a half hours this year. On the second day of Diwali, following a long-standing tradition, brave warriors from Gautampura and Runji, divided into the Turra and Kalangi groups, fired fire arrows at each other for about one and a half hours. This year, the Hingot battle ended half an hour earlier than usual. This is not a deadly fight, but a symbol of courage, tradition, and public faith. Victory or defeat does not matter; what counts is the display of bravery and the continuation of tradition. The battle is as dangerous as it is thrilling.
