This year, the organisers of Sankalp Pratishthan’s Dahi Handi in Thane will attempt to break a world record too. It will also be one of the grandest Dahi Handi events.
However, Dahi Handi is usually celebrated across neighbourhoods rather than at one central venue. Dadar, Lalbaug, Parel, Worli, Ghatkopar, Vile Parle, Andheri, Borivali, Dahisar, Thane, Naupada and Panchpakhadi are some of the major places where Dahi Handi happens in Mumbai. Other cities like Pune also have similar events.
Conclusion:
From Dadar to Thane, Mumbai's Dahi Handi is an experience everyone should witness at least once. Mark your calenders for September 5 but also remember to stay safe and enjoy the grand celebrations.
