The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Wednesday said that it has kept a total of 125 beds ready at civic hospitals in the city in case any 'Govinda' - a person forming a human pyramid as part of a group activity during the Dahi Handi festival - gets injured during the act, the PTI reported on Wednesday.

Dahi Handi will be celebrated in Mumbai and other parts of Maharashtra on Thursday. It is part of the Krishna Janmashtami festival, celebrated to mark the birth anniversary of Lord Krishna. During the festival, Govindas form a human pyramid to break a 'Dahi Handi' (curd pot) suspended in the air.
