There is a legend regarding Lord [[Krishna]]. [[Krishna]] was raised in a village in northern [[India]], called Vrindavan, in the state of Uttar Pradesh. He used to love a variety of [[dairy]] products, especially white butter (Makhan) whilst growing up as a child. Because of this, he even used to steal [[dairy]] produce from neighbours in the village, and from surrounding villages too. Due to these activities, [[Krishna]] gained the reputation of being a Makhan Chor or Navneet Chor (thief of butter). His foster mother [[Yashoda]] started to get frustrated by his stealing habits. Thus she told the women in the village and surrounding villages to tie their [[dairy]] produce in a handi, especially Makhan at a height [[Krishna]] would not be able to reach. [[Yashoda]] also used to restrain him as much as she could. However, [[Krishna]] using his wit would gather his friends and other children to form a human pyramid (as they do now every year) to break handis hanging on the ceilings in houses of the neighbourhood to steal curd and butter – which is why they have [[yoghurt]] or other [[dairy]] hanging in the handi during present festivals.
