KUSHTI कुश्ती - Traditional Indian Wrestling: Goga Pehlwan of Gujranwala vs Jarah Pehlwan of Lahore

WELCOME

Most countries have a traditional style of wrestling. In India, wrestling takes place in a clay or dirt pit. The soil is mixed with ghee and other things and is tended to before each practice.

Traditional Indian wrestling isn't just a sport - it's an ancient subculture where wrestlers live and train together and follow strict rules on everything from what they can eat to what they can do in their spare time. Drinking, smoking and even sex are off limits. The focus is on living a pure life, building strength and honing their wrestling skills.

The purpose of this blog is to raise awareness about the sport and give people inside and outside of India a glimpse of what it is like.
