Ancient Indian Wrestling Gym Akhada | Kushti Documentary

After Kolhapur I had a new destination, Bangalore. This was, however, too far for me to be able to reach in a one day drive. So I decided to stop in Dharwad for one night and visit a gym briefly. This turned into a complete turnover of plans, which usually happens haha, because they recognised me and knew what I was looking for. Maruti (@maruti_rocky IG) said he could help me find the akharas since he used to be a wrestler and knew them. So I gave in and this video is what happened the next day. Special thanks to Gideon (@gideonphotography IG) for capturing a lot of the video material with his camera. Having someone film it with a good quality camera does make a difference ;).
