Pehelwans are traditional wrestlers in South Asia, particularly in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. They often train in a style known as Kushti, which combines physical strength, technique, and cultural rituals. Pehelwans typically practice in a akhara, a dedicated wrestling arena, where they engage in rigorous training and competitions. The lifestyle of a pehelwan is disciplined, focusing on a balanced diet and physical fitness. They often wear a distinctive outfit, including a langot, which is a traditional loincloth. Pehelwans are not only athletes but also play a significant role in preserving cultural heritage through their sport and community involvement.
