Gokulashtami is the celebration of Krishna's birth, and Dahi Handi is a significant part of the auspicious festival. The event is based on the childhood acts of Shri Krishna, where he mischievously steals butter along with his friends from neighbouring homes in Gokul. Lord Krishna is also termed as ‘Makhan chor’. The neighbours would try to avert his mischief by hanging the pots high out of his reach, but Krishna would find ways to reach them and eat all the butter. Dahi Handi involves making a human pyramid and breaking an earthen pot filled with milk or curd, butter, and fruits, which is hung at a convenient height, thus imitating the actions of child Krishna. The term Govinda, which is another name for Krishna, is used to refer to the people who participate in forming this human pyramid.
