The Dahi Handi event, jointly organized by Shrimant Bhausaheb Rangari Trust and Guruji Talim Mandal, held at Ganpati Chowk in Pune, was a star-studded affair this year.

The celebration on Friday saw the participation of Pune's prominent figures, including famous singer Ajay Atul, cricketer Kedar Jadhav, actor Pravin Tarde, Esshanya Maheshwari, and renowned DJs Tapeshwari and Akhil Talreja.
