The Dahi Handi celebration is held on the day after krishna Janmashtami. people crush the "Dahi Handi," an earthen pot filled with yogurt, on this particular day. Mythology states that because baby krishna stole butter and yoghurt, people were careful to keep their milk products out of Krishna's grasp.
Krishna would come up with all sorts of inventive ways to get rid of these precarious pots, such as constructing human pyramids with his pals. The idea of Dahi Handi—where the contents that spill—was thus born, and its name is Prasada.
