The Morning Standard
|August 24, 2025
A centuries-old tradition rooted in a mythological love story resulted in injuries to around 1,000 residents of two riverside villages in MP's Pandhurna on Saturday.
As has been customary, the famous Gotmar Fair was held on the banks of the Jam River on Bhadrapada Amavasya.
The fair, linked to the mythological tale on the killing of two young lovers, saw residents of Pandhurna and Sawargaon villages indulge in the ritualistic battle of stones. It reportedly resulted in injuries to around 1,000 people in total. Two critically injured villagers, identified as Nilesh Janrao and Jyotiram Uike, have been rushed to hospitals in Nagpur.
