Krishna Janmashtami is one of the most popular festivals celebrated across the country to mark the birth of Lord Krishna. A key component of the festivities surrounding Krishna Janmashtami is Dahi Handi, which is being celebrated today. This festival consists of an earthen pot (handi) hung at a height, filled with ghee, sweets, almonds, dahi and butter (makhan). Then a bunch of individuals form human pyramids and attempt to reach and break the earthen pot. 

Dahi Handi is most famous in the state of Maharashtra and is also known as Gopalakala there. It's a challenging activity that requires teamwork, coordination and balance. The breaking of the Handi symbolises the playful and mischievous nature of Lord Krishna.
