MUMBAI : There were no human pyramids in Mumbai's Janmashtami festival celebrating Lord Krishna on Wednesday, which normally attracts thousands onto the streets, due to a surge in coronavirus in India, with more than 60,000 cases reported in 24 hours."This year, the celebration will be symbolic," said Ram Kadam, a state lawmaker who organises one such celebration in Mumbai."We will just have posters cheering on doctors and nurses, and will pray to the Lord to help us overcome this pandemic.Usually Hindus in Mumbai form human pyramids and try to break a pot of curd at the top.
Folklore says Krishna formed pyramids with friends to break pots of butter or curd hung from ceilings so they could steal the contents.Kadam said there would be no.
