Uneasy lies the head ..

Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown (King Henry the Fourth, Part Two, by William Shakespeare). This young lad too must be apprehensive as he will be the topmost on the human pyramid to take a crack at the pot.

Catch 'em young!

Drenched in the sweet nectar of success, the human pyramid breaks up. This is an annual event to celebrate the birthday of Lord Krishna. Captured this sweet moment in Dadar, Mumbai.

Dahi Handi

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.
