Krishna Janmashtami - young men form human towers to try to reach the pot of buttermilk hanging high above the village square. The pot has a cash prize for the team who breaks it - some of these are worth up to $200,000 (but not this one in my village I'm sure!) The first team start. There is a big base to the pyramid and then more men climb on top. Now a third layer gets added - there is still a long way to go. Someone climbs up with a small child on his shoulders - this boy will attempt to break the pot. Another older boy joins and lifts the small child up onto his shoulders. Although the little boy stood on the shoulders of the rest, he couldn't quite reach the pot of buttermilk and win the prize.
