Dancing on the day of Dahi Handi (lit. “clay pot of yogurt”), a day after Gokulashtami. The name Dahi Handi derives from a legend according to which baby Krishna was very fond of milk products and used to come up with ingenious plots, including human pyramids, in an effort to steal some butter, milk, or yogurt. That’s why people hid their milk products out of baby Krishna’s reach.
