Overview
- Videos that spread Friday show attendees at a Dayro in Malia Hatina, Khambhaliya, piling cash on stage around bhajan singer Kaviraj Jignesh.
- Heaps of currency built up as people emptied sacks and bundles of notes, and volunteers tried to gather the money while the music continued.
- Organisers said the collections will go to religious programmes and welfare projects, and locals told reporters the funds would support village development.
- Online reaction ranged from praise for a cultural tradition to sharp criticism that called the display showy or even illegal, with some users invoking income tax concerns.
- Coverage places the scene in Gujarat’s Dayro folk tradition where public offerings are common, notes similar past incidents in this circuit, and reports no official inquiry so far.
