The innovative sport is inspired by Lord Krishna as he loved eating butter, He used to steal butter from houses in the neighbourhood. People used to hide butter or store butter on the top floor so the Krishna couldn’t eat them. So by the above-written way he used to break the pot with his friends and steal the butter written in the Story of Shri Krishna.
