The decision was taken as many cities of Maharashtra celebrate and enjoy ‘Dahi-Handi’ as an adventurous sport. ‘Dahi-Handi’ is a ritual in which devotees of Lord Krishna recreate the ‘Maakhan Chori’ or butter stealing act. It is one of the mischievous stories of Krishna’s childhood. It is also known as ‘Gopalakala’ and it is observed on the next day of Janmashtami.
Janmashtami is a Hindu festival that marks the birth of Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna was born on the eighth day of Bhadra month. Generally, Janmashtami falls in August or September. The festival of Janmashtami is celebrated all over the country and people offer their prayers to Lord Krishna.
