Dahi Handi

dadar, dahi handi, event, festival, janmashtami, Lord Krishna, mumbai,

Yesterday, the birth of Lord Krishna was celebrated all over Mumbai by 'Govindas' (Krishnas) forming human pyramids and breaking the Dahi (curds) Handis (pots) that were tied up in many areas. Of course, now the religious connotation is minimal and it is more of political and mercenary upstaging. It is just another festive event.
