Villagers of Dhami, located around 40 kms from Shimla, gathered on Oct 20 to mark their centuries-old stone-pelting fair — a ritual believed to be nearly 400 years old. Held annually a day after #Diwali, the event draws thousands of visitors from across #HimachalPradesh and neighbouring states. The tradition involves residents from different clans throwing stones at each other until one participant sustains a minor injury — considered a symbolic offering of blood to Goddess Bhadrakali.
