In fact, the Dahi Handi festival could not be celebrated last year due to corona, and now this year too, it is not likely to happen due to the havoc of corona.

In fact, all Dahi handi committees in the city have appealed to CM Uddhav Thackeray to allow the function through the decision on whether Dahi Handi will be celebrated with fanfare this time too will be decided by CM Uddhav Thackeray today. Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray today convened a meeting with Mumbai's Dahi Handi Mandals through video conferencing. In fact, recently, the Dahi Handi Committees had appealed to the CM to allow small-scale celebrations following corona guidelines. A final decision on the same will now be taken at today's meeting.

This festival is celebrated with the practice of Dahi Handi on the special occasion of Janmashtami in Maharashtra and Gujarat. For this, these youngsters build a pyramid and break the matki to break the clay matki hanging at a height of 20-30 feet above the ground.
