Agni Kai

Agni Kai is a traditional, formal duel from the ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharata. It involves two warriors engaging in a controlled, ritualistic combat to resolve disputes or settle conflicts, often by challenging each other to a sword fight. The ceremony emphasizes honor, bravery, and fairness, with strict rules about conduct and timing. The outcome could lead to reconciliation or further conflict. In modern terms, it’s comparable to a highly regulated, honorable duel designed to restore or uphold personal or familial reputation.
