Indian Traditional Sports

Indian traditional sports are ancient games and physical activities rooted in the country's cultural history, often played during festivals or local gatherings. These include martial arts like Kalaripayattu, rural sports such as Kabaddi and Kho-Kho, and board games like Chaupar. They emphasize agility, strength, strategy, and teamwork, reflecting regional customs and values. Many of these sports have been passed down through generations, serving as cultural expressions and community bonding activities. Today, efforts are underway to preserve and promote these traditional games, integrating them into modern sports and fostering national pride in India's diverse sporting heritage.
