Janamashtmi – Dahi Handi and Human Pyramids: Photoblog

Janamashtmi marks the day when Lord Krishna was born and is celebrated with great fervour across India. The next day after Janamashtmi, the Western part of the country celebrates Dahi Handi. Earthen pots full of butter milk and butter, that are dear to baby Krishna, are hung at a height of over 10 meters. Youngsters form pyramids and try to reach the earthen pot, smash it and stake claim to a bumper prize.
