In Hindu mythology, Krishna is depicted breaking matkis (clay pots) during his childhood, particularly in the Dahi Handi festival. These matkis were often filled with butter or curd, and Krishna and his friends enjoyed stealing and consuming these treats.
The Dahi Handi festival celebrates this playful pasttime of Lord Krishna. The story is often associated with specific locations like Sankari Khor in Barsana, where Gopis (cowherd girls) would carry milk in matkis, and Krishna would break them to steal the milk.
