Thank you for those They try to follow some fish and you know what he just said you're amazing We are learning about say this for me die handy die handy. It's a festival. That's today It's and we're going to be learning about the little history of it. Okay, it's I think it's called like the most dangerous Festival in the world or India or something seriously. Yeah, so it's something like that. Why is it dangerous? I think we'll find out Is it as dangerous as me sitting next to you when I'm opening when I don't know if you're gonna scream and yell or hit me Probably more. Yeah, here we go Red Bull that must be dangerous. I'm not kidding The video credit goes to Red Bull TV What the world looks like from 40 feet high? Generally, this is the stuff people dream about but for a special view. This is reality These human pyramids are built on the streets of Mumbai city on the occasion of Delhi This event is rooted in Indian tradition and is celebrated on a festive occasion To the destruction of evil each religious festival carries with it a story Celebrated on the day of Janmashtami Janmashtami marks the birth of the Hindu deity Krishna Krishna is considered to be the 8th avatar of Vishnu who is one of the three main Hindu gods Vishnu is known to be the preserver of protector and his avatar of Krishna is often depicted as a child with blue skin Legends from the ancient scriptures tell us that a young Krishna was very fond of yoga He would consume large quantities of it and yet this would not satisfy his craving To stop him from doing so his family and friends would tie the pot of yoga at a height above the ground far out of his reach But young Krishna determined in his ways would always get his hands on the yoga However, harder task it turned out to be On the occasion of his birth this innocent act of you is recreated by men and women on the streets of Mumbai This event is known as that he handy and translates to a pot of yogurt Oh, yeah, this is a presentation of Krishna's childhood quest and a story anywhere between 20 and 40 feet above the ground Thousands of teams known as Gobindapathaks construct human pyramids and events organized across the city At these events the team that is able to construct the highest pyramid takes home the price Mumbai is home to more than a thousand such Gobindapathaks While some butters up close knit and small there are a few who form teams of around 600 athletes. What? These athletes trained for nearly 90 days prior to the main event This tradition has given rise to some iconic sports teams who have been constructing human pyramids in Mumbai Two of the city's iconic teams are the Jai Javan Govindapathak and the Parley Sports Club In 2012 the Jai Javan Govindapathak constructed a 14 3.79 feet human pyramid and broke a 21-year-old Guinness World Record Would you do that insanely high? Would you do that? I don't think I would I don't think I would The Parley Sports Club is a binary all-girl team from Mumbai. Oh, yeah, the only team who have been invited to New York City for an athletic showcase Yeah, you've never heard about this? No. Yeah, me too. Never. Nothing. Too much beat. The focus on the bottom, man. The one underlying factor that unites all the Govindapathaks from across the city is the strength of unity I guess all the college team represents a distinct neighborhood These teams usually attract like-minded people and form strong bonds Yeah, that would trust you'd have in each other I think is the sound copyright? Maybe The pyramid's base and the first two levels must comprise of mentally and physically fit athletes Being of a calm and stable mind is an important asset a player must develop to excel at this sport Each year preparation begins around three months prior to the main event During this time communication among team members is very important I am not in the same team as you I am not in the same team as you In the case of a statue, you are in a different team You have to keep up with the practice You have to think about the next day, what to do What to do, what to do, what to do What are the problems in the Thara? I have solved all of these problems I have been to the same team as you I have been to the Parley Sports Club I have been to the Parley Sports Club I have been to the Parley Sports Club I don't know if I will ever be able to do this. I will be able to do this for the next year. Because, I have never been able to do this before. I have never been able to do this before. I have never been able to do this. My restriction is occasional e-collapse. Oh, goodness gracious. And with younger children on top and no cushioning on the ground. Oh my stars. Were put in place to curb injuries that arise from such accidents. I think that's what they are often around the coast for, yeah. It is important that the sports committee takes care of its athletes. For instance, in a country like Spain, human pyramids are formed as a part of festive celebration throughout the year. They are known as Castells and the sport is supported by the local government. In 2010, UNESCO declared this to be among the masterpieces of oral and intangible heritage of humanity. Over the past few years, teams of Spanish Castellas have travelled to Mumbai and exchanged techniques and stories with the athletes here. It's so extreme that two cultures difference doing the same and are so fun. But I think that it's so beautiful. Different teams in Catalonia. If you do human towers, it's like a family or the people from the different teams. And when we think about the windows, it's similar. It's human towers too. It feels like the same feeling that, ah, we are the same. Yeah. It has been a learning experience for athletes on both the sides. It has pushed them to test their strength and set larger goals to accomplish. What have they put in it? It's not yogurt. Well, it's not yogurt. We're accustomed to. I bet it's a kind of yogurt that has been met with a lot of cheer. It's familiar to them, but not familiar to us. Yeah, it doesn't look like yogurt. We know. Way too light. Yeah, too well. Many athletes have benefited in life by way of this sport. This sport has now reached a much wider audience than before. However, there is a strong belief within the community that in order to scale greater heights, the skill must be taught to children in school. In school. That's the current. Sure, they must learn younger. The younger you learn it, by the time you would be 18 to do it, you'd have an experience that you probably need. Guarantee you can't climb on top of people. With each attack, the numbers get larger. Get actually elected. No, they're getting requested. We're going to build a pyramid seat. While others choose this day to showcase their skill, in this villages and cultural frenzy, everyone has one share in, to build the tallest pyramid and find the best view of the city. I think the Egyptians won. 50, nearly 50 feet high is staggering. That's really, really, really high. It's almost as tall as... That's a five-story building. That's high, man. On just standing on other human beings. See, the part for me that would be the hard, not really the height, I can deal with height. The height is not a really issue for me. It's the feet, isn't it? Well, it's the feet and trusting other people below me. Did we ever do the fall exercise for the trust exercise in theater? Oh, I can do that, because that's not really a far... If I fall on the ground, I'm like, whatever, I fell on the ground, it's not that far. That's true, I only had you guys stand on the table. That I can do, that's not really an issue. But you're pretty high up and you're having to trust somebody. Same reason I have a problem with skydiving. Because I have to, one, trust something to go off. And then also another person. So that's the issue. It's not really the height that scares me. Interesting. It's the fact that I have to trust somebody else to perform their tasks. Right. And I don't know them. And your safety and well-being is dependent upon someone else taking care of a task that they would prefer you were taking care of yourself. Yeah. Yeah. And feet. Yeah, I don't like the feet being that close to my face. Yeah, Alexis would feel the same way. In case you didn't know that about Alexis, Alexis does not like feet. It doesn't even get into your feet. Well, it is, they're disgusting. It is. Nothing against your feet, but it doesn't want your feet against him. That's true. And that's cool. I mean, I had no idea this was even a thing. I didn't either. I mean, India has a thousand festivals. Of course. But I didn't know this was, this activity was part of it. And I also don't know in the realm of when you said that like the most dangerous ritual kind of thing or I guess it falls under the festival. For sure. The most dangerous festival. The most dangerous like sporting event I've ever seen that I know of is, I don't know if it's Scotland or Ireland that does it where they're running down the hill. And the log is, and they're writing the logs as a log to it down the hill. People are getting run over by these giant tree trunks. It's not really a festival. It's just a sport. Yeah. So this is by far a festival. I think like a festival wise. Very interesting. Very interesting. Look at that. You learned something new. You're not getting so stupid over here. Well, they didn't learn anything. Oh yeah. That's us. We're learning. Unless they're like American. Now we're less stupider. But I'm sure they know about this. Obviously. But yeah, that was cool. Let us know. There's other festivals coming up. Please let us know in advance. Because like I said, there's a thousand. And we can kind of keep track of like the big ones, Durgapooja. And I think we should gather a bunch of people here and do this just so you can climb to the top and have to deal with people's feet. I don't have to deal with feet. They have to deal with my feet. That's true. So you'd rather go to the top than be on the bottom. Yeah. Oh yeah.
