Dahi Handi celebrated at the occasion of Janmastmi (Krishna’s birth) is a major event in Mumbai. A human pyramid tries to break a pot full of curd tied to a rope high up in the air.

Although a very dangerous practice as every years sees a lot of accidents on the day, practice starts months before the actual events. People with less weight are preferred at the top for obvious reasons.
