When it comes to the Hindu festival of Janmashtami – the birthday of deity Krishna – there’s a lot of fun to be had. People offer prayers and decorate swings and dance and sing. The most special thing however is the race to the dahi handi, or pot of yoghurt. This pot is suspended high in the air and teams compete, climbing over one another, to reach and break the pot. Here’s a look at how Bollywood stars, from Ayushmann Khurrana to Manish Malhotra celebrated the occasion this year. Image Credit: Insta/bachchan
