Originated from food fights in the street

The fact of its origin is not exactly known to the people but they say that it originated from a street fight where young boys indulged in a fight with a person who accidentally fell on the vegetable market. They were throwing tomatoes to each other until the local police wrapped up the battle. Since then in 1945, this came into the trend but in the early 50s, the government banned the festival and withdrew again after a few years.
