Indian Hindus devotees are showered with water while taking a pledge before forming a “human pyramid” during the dahi handi (curd pot) celebrations of Janmashtami, which mark the birth of Hindu god Lord Krishna, in Mumbai on August 25, 2016. 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.
