Watch: Konkan Nagar Govinda Pathak Creates 10-Level Human Pyramid in Thane, Sets Dahi Handi Record
Last Updated: As the final layer of the pyramid rose to the top, the crowd erupted in cheers, witnessing what is now the tallest formation. Maharashtra is celebrating the festival of Krishna Janmashtami with great enthusiasm. Dahi Handi events have been organised at several places, with political leaders and renowned personalities being a part of the event. Amid celebrations, the new Konkan Nagar Govinda Pathak from Jogeshwari set a new benchmark at this year's Dahi Handi celebrations in Thane. Performing at the popular Pratap Sarnaik Dahi Handi event, the team built a 10-level human pyramid, breaking the previous record of nine levels held by the Jai Jawan group. Each year, as Janmashtami approaches, the air in Maharashtra becomes electric with excitement. Dahi Handi, one of the state's most iconic and physically demanding celebrations, transforms towns and cities into grand stages of devotion and display. Rooted in the legend of Lord Krishna's love for butter, the festival sees hundreds of Govinda Pathaks (teams of participants) take to the streets, forming towering human pyramids to reach and break an earthen pot (handi) suspended several meters above the ground. In cities like Mumbai, Thane, Pune, and Nashik, Dahi Handi has grown from a local tradition to a full-fledged spectacle. Handis are often strung across narrow lanes or towering cranes, while local residents and tourists pack every corner to witness the spectacle. Over the years, the event has also taken on a competitive and commercial edge, with prize money, sponsorships, and media coverage making it a high-stakes affair for Govinda groups. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

'The festival promotes values of truth, compassion, and justice,' she said. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'This year I'm shooting for my show, so I won't be able to celebrate. I believe the show itself is his blessing on me, and being devoted to my work is the best ritual to impress him. I started my day by offering prayers and listening to his teachings from the Bhagavad Gita.' For Kaloya, the festival is closely tied to her hometown, Amritsar. 'Back in my hometown, my family celebrates with a spirit of devotion. Beautiful swings with flower decorations are placed for Laddu Gopal, and midnight pujas are performed. Special aartis take place and prasad is offered to Lord Krishna,' she shared. 'This morning, I joined virtually through a video call. I really missed being there and especially the prasad my mother makes. ' She added that Janmashtami for her is not only about rituals but about keeping Krishna's teachings alive in everyday life. 'Even if I'm away, listening to the Gita in the morning made me feel connected to him,' she said. Isha, who previously played the lead role of Heer in the Punjabi show Heer Tey Tedi Kheer , believes that faith can be practiced wherever one is. 'As long as there's devotion, distance doesn't matter,' she concluded.
