71-Year-Old to Pull 10-Ton Cart Solo in Khargone Holi Tradition

• A 71-year-old man, Shriram Yadav (Sheru), will single-handedly pull a 10-ton cart in Khargone, Madhya Pradesh, continuing a 900-year-old Holi tradition.
• The event, known as 'gadha pulling', takes place on Dhulandi (March 3) in Kasrawad, starting at 7 PM after colors are thrown.
• The cart, weighing approximately 10 tons with 7 large wooden and iron wheels, is specially prepared by the Patidar community, while the Yadav community prepares the 'Badwa' (cart puller).
• Shriram Yadav claims to be possessed by Khandoba Maharaj and Pir Baba, resolving people's problems for four days leading up to the event.
• The tradition includes a procession from the Khandoba temple, traditional Nimadi songs, and a turmeric Holi, believed to cure diseases and bring peace.
