💨 Abstract

A traditional Diwali festival in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, resulted in 17 minor injuries as two groups threw flaming 'hingots' (wild fruit) at each other. The festival took place in Gautampura, with police and medical teams present to ensure safety. The hingot is filled with gunpowder, travels a long distance, and injuries are common, though banning the festival is considered difficult due to its religious significance.
