Janmaashtami, famously referred to in Mumbai as Dahi Handi, is commended to recognize the introduction of Lord Krishna. In 2017, it will be set apart on fourteenth of August.
The handi is an earth pot loaded with buttermilk that is situated at an advantageous tallness before the occasion.
The highest individual on the human pyramid tries to break the handi by hitting it with a limit protest. Generally nariyal (coconut) is favored being an indication of virtue, truth and so on in Hinduism.
At the point when that happens the buttermilk is overflowed the whole gathering, symbolizing their accomplishment through solidarity. Handis are set up around the city, and gatherings of adolescents, called Govinda Pathaks, go around in trucks endeavoring to break whatever number handis as would be prudent amid the day.
