By late Tuesday evening, Dahi Handi celebrations across the city had given way to hospital visits for 63 Govindas, with eight admitted to various hospitals. Among those injured was 26-year-old Rajesh Das, a Wadala resident and member of the Dwarkabai Mandal. He was rushed to KEM hospital after falling from a Dahi Handi pyramid. “We were holding a trial in the area before visiting other competitions. He was on the third tier and fell because of the rain,” said Aakash Kochrekar, Das’s friend who took him to the hospital.

Das had dislocated his shoulder in the fall and was sent home after being kept under observation for about an hour.
