India's top court on August 17, 2016, has banned children from taking part in a popular but potentially dangerous religious festival in the country's west that sees young boys scale human pyramids. The Supreme Court barred children aged under 18 from scaling the pyramids and restricted their height to 20 feet (six metres) following a string of accidents in recent years.
