Children under 12 years of age will no longer be allowed to take part in formation of human pyramids during 'Dahi Handi' celebrations, which are integral part of Janmashtami festivities in Maharashtra.
While the Jism 2 actress travelled to Pune to be a part of celebrations, other celebrities visited various Dai Handi venues in Mumbai.
Of the Rs 474.4 crore insurance cover, the largest component -- Rs 375 crore -- has been allocated towards personal accident cover for volunteers.

"It is not for the high court to impose restrictions on the age of the participants and height of the pyramids as this falls exclusively in the domain of the state legislature," Justice Gavai said.
The apex court also said that children below 18 years should not be allowed in the Dahi Handi event.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday said that youth below 18 years of age cannot participate in the Dahi Handi ritual, part of the Janmashtami festival, in Maharashtra and the height of the human pyramid for it cannot exceed 20 feet, a limit fixed by the Bombay High Court.
The festival of 'dahi handi' was celebrated across the metropolis and neighbouring Thane district amid fervour that underscores indomitable spirit of an average Mumbaikar shrugging off the drudgery associated with daily life.
The bench said that the appeal against the high court directions has been disposed of and asked if any order can be passed on a plea that has been disposed of.
When the high court delivered the stringent norms, which in no way eliminated the fun of the proceedings but made it safer, by requiring proper safety measures, there was an undercurrent of defiance. Sensing the adverse implications of loss of a mass contact platform, the government persuaded itself to seek a review, says Mahesh Vijapurkar.
No child below the age of 12 years will be permitted to participate in forming human pyramids during the popular Dahi Handi festival, the Supreme Court directed on Thursday while keeping on hold a Bombay high court order, which barred participation of children under 18.
