Tadatmanam Srijami Aham'.

Indian Celebrate the Janmashtami by having a fast for a whole day and wake till mid night which is birthday time of Krishna.They then move to Krishna Temple at midnight and sing a Krishna lori swings and cradles

Besides this in many part of India, a Dahi Handi celebration is made every year.A Handi  made of clay is tied up in height prior to event and then a group of human will make a pyramids to break the handi.Now a days even competition is being conducted between groups to break the handi.
