Proud to be a Pehlwan! The ancient sport of wrestling is alive and thriving in India. While mat wrestling, which is an olympic sport and practiced around the world, is the more popular in India, traditional mud wrestling (kushti) is still practiced at garadi manes around the country. I visited several local garadi manes here in Bangaluru. The pehlwans are keeping the tradition alive!
