In Pictures | Janmashtami 2016 : Unique, energetic Dahi Handi celebrations following SC order on human pyramids
Take a look at some of the Dahi Handi celebrations across Mumbai on Janmashtami.
Dahi Handi celebrations to mark Krishna Janmashtami got off to a colourful start in Mumbai and other parts of Maharashtra on Thursday, with some 'mandals' allegedly flouting the 20-ft ceiling for human pyramids mandated by the Supreme Court.
Although the apex court had made it clear that no human pyramid can go over the cap of 20-ft, in adjoining Thane district, a "Dahi Handi" was strung up at 49ft, more than double the height allowed by the Supreme Court.
Expressing displeasure over the Supreme Court's ban on 20-plus-feet cap for human pyramids, the 'Govindas' in Dadar area of Mumbai on Thursday laid down on the road and formed a pyramid on the occasion of the Dahi Handi festival.
Here are some of the photos from Dahi handi celebrations across Mumbai.
