He throws gulal, many keen to take from the king`s hand. Locals believe that whoever gets this gulal considers himself blessed. He keeps it in his family for the year. It symbolically means that peace and wealth remain in the house.Left centre is character called Birbal dancing and surrounded by drummers. Unique thing is that king sits on top of truck & throws gulal on Birbal while he dances in front from the centre of the town to the Sub-division office. Town has fort of Shyamgarh, now abandoned. This region was ruled by Kathat (Chouhan Rajput, descendants of Prithviraj Chouhan) and Rawat Rajputs.
