Dahi Handi was celebrated across the state to mark Lord Krishna's birth. However, at the traditional locations in Mumbai and Thane, Govindas laid tall human pyramids to break the hung earthen pot filled with curd.

Erecting tall multi-layered human pyramids to break the handi (earthen pot) with curd and the competition between the Govindas to win the cash prizes is the traditional way of celebrating the festival in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane and nearby regions.

Dressed in colourful attires, Govindas is seen crisscrossing parts of Mumbai and Thane in trucks, tempos, buses and two-wheelers to break the Dahi Handis. Several manuals led by the local political leaders award the winning Govinda team with hefty cash prizes.
