The Bajiprabhu Dhol Tasha Pathak—which lost 15 of its members in an accident in April—has been re-launched under a new name to resume performances. ‘Phatteshikast’ held its first performance in Goregaon on Tuesday night and its first major performance will be at Mahim Koliwada on December 6. Pathak members decided to change the name to honour the memory of those who lost their lives. On April 15, a private bus carrying pathak members met with an accident at Khopoli on the old Mumbai-Pune Highway, resulting in 15 deaths and injuries to 25 others.
