Dahi Handi Height

Against the backdrop of the Supreme Court's directions on dahi handi celebrations in Maharashtra, the Shiv Sena today said the government should have come out with an ordinance reversing the top court order.

A police case has been filed against Avinash Yadav and and 16 groups that defied Supreme Court orders during the dahi handi celebrations in Thane.

Refusing to rethink a ban on taller "Dahi handi" human pyramids - popular during the Janmashtami festival in Maharashtra - the Supreme Court today said "to increase the height is very scary".

No one below the age of 18 can participate in the popular 'dahi-handi' ritual of human pyramids the Supreme Court held today, limiting the height of such human pyramids to 20 feet only.

Mumbai saw subdued Dahi-Handi celebrations today, in the backdrop of restrictions on height of pyramids and curbs on decibel levels.
