Krishna Jayanti

14 September 2006 —Uriyadi is the pot-breaking game associated with Krishna's childhood. In the past, this game has always been held in front of the temple. This year, however, it was played in the space created when the East Wing buildings were recently razed. Amma sat in a chair and watched as the children ran towards the suspended pots, trying to break them open with sticks, while mugs of coloured water were thrown at them. The pots, of course, are hoisted up and down—in and out of the children's reach. Whenever a child succeeded, everyone would cheer, and the children would all scramble to collect the coins that had been hidden inside the pot.
