'Dahi Handi' offers big this Gokulashtami

August 22, 2008
"We want to highlight Mankhurd, which is a neglected suburb. Besides the event is being organised in a housing complex inaugurated by late Rajiv Gandhi," Singh said.

Eleven-storeyed human pyramid would be required to reach the pot, he said.

So far, the Sanstha has got response from nearly 90 Govinda groups who will vie for the prize.

"Narayan Rane and his sons Nilesh and Nimesh will be attending the function," Singh said.
