Kusti

Traditional Mud Wrestling

Kusti (Pehlwani) is an ancient form of wrestling practiced in a clay or dirt pit (the Akhada). It is not merely a sport, but a highly disciplined way of life. At Shree Bhavani Akhada, we train our wrestlers in the pure, traditional techniques, emphasizing mutual respect, rigorous physical conditioning, and deep spiritual strength.

Training in the red mud of the Akhada connects the athlete to the earth. The clay is often mixed with ghee, milk, and turmeric, providing healing properties. Here, students build raw, functional power and incredible agility that no gym machine can replicate.
