Here is the festival of Dahi-Handi, celebrated as a birthday of hindu god Lord Krishna. Some dudes here called it Yogurt Pot festival for a change.

Although they had to lower the height of Dahi-Handi (the pot they are suppose to break to steal the Curd/yogurt inside) since none of the crew had enough man power to reach up to the original height, it was still a game of huge physical expertise and skills. The dudes rocked it in their first intended attempt without a single mistake or hassle.
