  • Els govindes són les torres humanes que s'alcen segons la tradició hinduista durant el festival religiós hindú Janmaashtami, que cau en un dia entre mitjans d'agost i mitjans de setembre del calendari gregorià, per celebrar el naixement de Krixna, també anomenat Govinda. L'any 2010 va ser el 27 de setembre. Aquest festival és més conegut popularment a Bombai i Pune (Maharashtra, Índia) com a Dahi Handi, si bé actualment es tendeix a considerar-lo un esport local amb el nom de govinda. També s'anomenen govindes els nois que participen en la construcció de les torres, agrupats en colles que s'anomenen genèricament Govinda Pathak. (ca)
  • Dahi Handi es un evento festivo y deportivo que se celebra en India, especialmente en el estado de Maharashtra, coincidiendo con el festival religioso hindú Gokulashtami o Janmashtami. El objetivo de la actividad es alcanzar y romper un bote, a modo de piñata, denominado handi, que se rellena de leche, yogur o mantequilla, y se cuelga a gran altura. Los participantes, denominados govindas, se agrupan en equipos, llamados govinda pathak, que construyen torres humanas con el objetivo de alcanzar el handi y verter su contenido. (es)
