Kushti Wrestling Talim in Mysore

Every year during Dassara, Mysore hosts large wrestling competitions as part of its massive celebrations. There are a handful of akharas or talims in the city where wrestlers come to train. This one attracts many policeman as it is just a few meters away from a major police station. They come in the afternoon to take a break and get some exercise. Some just make use of the akhara's rudimentary weight training facilities. The wresting pit itself is indoors and is quite small, but sufficient.
