Meet the World Record-Breaking Team
The Konkan Nagar Govinda Pathak, guided by coach Vivek Kochrekar, has been training for over 12 years with discipline and determination. Their flawless teamwork and balance helped them build the record 10-level human pyramid.
For years, the Jai Jawan Govinda Pathak dominated headlines with their record-breaking feats. In 2012, they secured a Guinness World Record with a nine-level, 43.79-foot pyramid. A decade later, in 2022, they returned with a jaw-dropping 50-foot pyramid, where a 14-year-old Govinda smashed the handi in a climactic finish.
But in 2025, Konkan Nagar Govinda Pathak claimed the spotlight with their world record climb, rewriting the history of Dahi Handi in Mumbai.
Dahi Handi: Tradition Meets Record-Breaking Feats
Each year, Janmashtami transforms Maharashtra into a stage of devotion, unity, and competition. From Mumbai and Thane to Pune and Nashik, Govinda Pathaks attempt daring climbs to reach the handi — a ritual symbolising Lord Krishna’s love for butter.
Over the years, the event has evolved into a high-stakes spectacle with prize money, sponsorships, and massive crowds.
In 2012, Mumbai’s Jai Jawan Govindas earned global fame by stacking nine levels to 43.79 feet, securing a Guinness World Record. In 2022, they reached even higher with a 50-foot pyramid.
But this year, the spotlight belongs to Konkan Nagar Govinda Pathak — the team that turned Dahi Handi 2025 into a world record moment with their 10-level human pyramid.
