6: Tossing Toddlers
This is an extremely dangerous but old tradition which is still practiced in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Karnataka. Toddlers are tossed almost 15-30 feet upwards and then caught by a blanket held by people. This is extremely risky for the toddlers. Hence it was banned in 2011. However, the practice once again started from 2012. The people believe that this brings good luck to the toddler.
