Kushti

Wrestling 

(memories from the pre March 2020 era) 

On Naag Panchmi, an annual feature

In the open, on a raised platform, not far from home

Participants came from near and far 

Crowd (men only) was enthusiastic and commentators funny 

A mela came up around the spot (children had fun!)

A different version 

State level competition (men and women)

Quality arrangement (including medical facility)

An audience unbothered by the rains 

Waiting for the dangal to re-begin
