Indian Traditional Wrestling, known as Kushti, is a form of wrestling that has deep roots in Indian culture. Practiced in mud akharas (wrestling pits), it combines physical strength, skill, and traditional techniques. Wrestlers, called Pehlwans, train rigorously to build endurance and agility, often following strict diets and routines. The sport emphasizes respect, discipline, and community. Matches are typically held during festivals and local events, showcasing not only athletic prowess but also cultural heritage. Kushti has been a part of Indian history for centuries, with its techniques and traditions passed down through generations.
