2012 Dahi Handi venue locations Mumbai and Thane


Krishna with curds pot
A prominent part of the Krishna Janmashtami celebrations is the breaking of the handi (clay pot) which is set up high above the ground at the center of a long rope strung between two structures. Lord Krishna as a child always broke clay pots to eat the curds inside, hence the breaking of the clay pot is a similar activity. This activity is a part of festivities known as Dahi Kala utsav or Dahi Handi Mahotsav. It takes place just 1 day after celebrating Lord Krishna's birth. The 2012 Krishna Janmashtami date is August 9th, 12 midnight. On August 10th, the streets of Mumbai, Pune, Thane & Navi Mumbai will be filled by large groups of Govindas (men and women) who try to outdo each other in creating more tiers of pyramids to break the traditional handi. There is a great deal of joy in this, more so because of the cash prizes offered by political groups & private organizations.

India's Got Talent Mumbai Auditions dates, timings and venue 2012

India's Got Talent, telecast on Colors TV, is one of my favourite talent shows & I am eagerly looking forward to its 2012 edition. What's great about this show is that it is not restricted to just singing or dancing like other talent shows, but gives the people of India a platform to show just about any sort of talent. It could be sketching, playing the flute, juggling, gymnastics, swallowing fire...whatever you think you are good at. Those in Mumbai, Maharashtra can register for the Mumbai auditions right away.
