The arrival of a baby is usually a special moment for any family, but one family in Maharashtra decided to make the birth of a daughter an occasion to remember.
After reportedly waiting for nearly 200 years for a girl to be born into their family, the Dahifale family in Parli, Maharashtra, gave newborn Gargi a grand welcome. Her homecoming was marked by a flower-decorated chariot, drum beats, cymbals and a lively procession through the area.
