Shrine of Baba Sheikh Umar Saheb Dargah at Musti village in Solapur
From the archive record
Baba Sheikh Umar Saheb Dargah is a Muslim shrine located in Solapur famous for baby throwing festival. Locals in western India believe the fall -- which ends when the babies are caught in a bedsheet -- would ensure good health and prosperity for their families. The infants are thrown off the roof of the Baba Sheikh Umar Saheb Dargah in Musti village in Solapur. This is an age-old tradition practiced by couples who are blessed with a child after taking a vow at the dargah. The devotees also believe that this ritual is good for the health of the child. People have been following this tradition for almost 700 years now. They believe that if they throw the child from the roof then it does good to him or her.
