Depalpur. On the second day of Diwali, Hingot war was played fiercely between Kalangi and Turra teams in Gautampura in Indore district of Madhya Pradesh. Thousands of people from all over the state including Indore, Ujjain came to watch this event which was played for about one and a half hour. Let us tell you that Gautampura is a place in India where only this war is played. More than 30 warriors were injured in this unique war played today.
At the same time, due to the code of conduct, there was no political stage where the spectators got ample space to watch the war. At the same time, the police administration along with the city administration installed a 10 feet high net due to which none of the spectators watching the fight in the audience gallery outside got hurt. Keeping in view the security in the battlefield, more than 350 police personnel were deployed by the police administration for security arrangements. During this time, top police officers also stood firm. The warriors playing the war had reached the field fully dressed. Hingot is the fruit of a tree called Hingoria.
Which the citizens here pluck from the forest and bring. Lemon shaped fruit which is hard like coconut on the outside and filled with pulp inside. Hingot is prepared for war by cleaning it from the top, making a small hole at one end and a big hole at the other end, filling it with gunpowder and keeping it in the sun for two days. Then on the day of Hingot battle, the warriors of Turra and Kalangi groups go out dancing and singing towards the Hingot battlefield with headdresses on their heads, bags filled with Hingot on their shoulders, shields and burning wood in their hands.
