A 32-year-old ‘Govinda’ fell to his death while tying ‘Dahi Handi’ in Mankhurd, Mumbai, on Saturday (August 16, 2025) afternoon, while 30 others taking part in the formation of human pyramids synonymous with the celebrations were injured across the metropolis, officials said.
Jagmohan Shivkiran Chaudhari was tying the ‘Dahi Handi’ – earthen pot filled with curd which groups of `Govindas’ try to reach and break by forming a human pyramid – to a rope from the first-floor window grille of his house in Maharashtra Nagar when he fell, said a civic official.
