Janmashtami is a festival that celebrates Lord Krishna's birthday. It is well-known for the gigantic human pyramids constructed in cities like Mumbai to reach and break the Handi, a clay pot filled with Krishna's favorite food, butter. Here in Bharuch we celebrated by going to the society temple a little before 12 pm and singing and dancing Garba, a traditional Gujarati dance I am learning in dance classes three times per week.
