Janmaashthami, is also popularly known as Dahi Handi. Handis are set up around the city, and groups of youngsters, called Govindas, travel around and break as many handis as possible during the day. These Govinda groups often compete with each other, especially for the handis that dole out hefty rewards. The event, in recent times, has gathered a political flavor, and it is common for political parties and rich community groups to offer prizes amounting to Lakhs of Rupees. Some of the most famous handis are at Dadar, Lower Parel, Worli, Mazgaon, Lalbaug, and many places in Thane and Pune.
