Mathura is all decorated and dramas called Ras Leela is organised by the
community people. Mathura and Vrindavan are the places where people from

Maharashtra follow the tradition known as Dahi Handi in which a clay pot filled
with buttermilk is placed at great height and the young men or boys make a
human pyramid to break the clay pot.
