In joyful remembrance of Sri Krishna's Divine Leelas (pastimes), devotees organise a competitive event called 'Dahi Handi' at many places. During Dahi Handi festivities, groups of players must create a pyramid to break a curd pot suspended in the air. Chappan Bhog, 56 dishes, are offered to Sri Krishna.
