“Rajasthan people celebrating Diwali festival by firing guns and cannon”
What FACTLY found
This video shows ‘Jabri Gair’ tradition celebrated every year in Menar village of Rajasthan. ‘Jabri Gair’ is a 400-year-old tradition celebrated on the next day of Holi. People fire guns and cannons to celebrate the heroism and valour of Menar Brahmins in defeating Mughals during the period of Rana Udai Singh. It has nothing to do with the recent Rajasthan Government ban on fire crackers during Diwali.
