Indian Wrestling

Wrestling is a combat sport involving grappling type techniques such as clinch fighting, throws and takedowns, joint locks, pins and other grappling holds. A wrestling bout is a physical competition, between two (occasionally more) competitors or sparring partners, who attempt to gain and maintain a superior position. In Kolkata near the Mallick Ghat, there is an "Akhra" where these people practice the sports and is maintaining this traditional sport.
