With Anant Chaturdashi on Friday, September 25, Pune police have imposed a 15-minute limit on the time each dhol-tasha group can spend at a chowk during Ganesh immersion processions. Each Ganesh mandal will also be allowed a maximum of two dhol-tasha groups.
There will be no restriction on the number of performers in a dhol-tasha group. The time limit is aimed at ensuring the processions move smoothly and preventing prolonged crowding at major junctions.
