Their day on Holi starts earlier than usual -- with sweets and gulaal.
According to Amit Kumar, national coordinator of the All India Network of Sex Workers (AINSW), a group of sex workers' organizations, some brothels are closed till about 5 p.m. on that day.
"This is to avoid any kind of hooliganism. However, the women enjoy the festival internally with extremely trusted clients," Kumar said.
"Those who wish to visit their friends in adjoining brothels to celebrate the festival venture out only after ensuring that the streets are safe outside," Kumar added.
