Traditionally, policemen celebrate the festival of colours on the day of Dhulandi as they remain engaged in law and order duty on the day of the festival. The next day of the Dhulandi, they gather at police lines to celebrate Holi, they added.

Arrangements for Holi celebrations were made by senior officers at the police lines across the state. However, police lines in Jaipur, Jodhpur, Udaipur and other districts remained empty while in Kota, Bharatpur, Pali, Sawai Madhopur and Bhilwara, celebrations were witnesses with police personnel playing Holi with senior officers smearing gulal and colours on each other and dancing to music.
