Action on the edge

As the fishing boat docks in at the Sassoon docks, the traders throng to bid and get the best deals. The dock is narrow, hence there is a real chance of falling off the docks for a newbie.

Job well done!

The 'Govinda' atop the human pyramid breaks the pot to great applause for a job well done!
The sky in the background is dull, leaving all the action in the frame for the 'Govindas'.

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.
