dahi means curd handi is that vessel its kept in in India lord krishna likes to eat dahi a lot so his mom used to hide it in a handi at high altitudes so that he couldn't reach it. Hence krishna would use his frens and make a pyramid to access it. We celebrate it on krishna's birthday by playing dahi handi. it's usually a competition of who stacks the highest pyramids and is quite fun actually. its cool to know its been practised in other places as well

[@apokos8871]

the pole jumping in the Netherlands is older than that. in the 16th century, during the 80 years war, Dutch raiding parties would use vaulting poles and light equipment (usually just a musket or a sword) to cross ditches and appear behind enemy lines to disrupt supply stations and wagon trains. im not Dutch, just a military historian, but you can find written sources that prove this
