In a fast changing world with contemporary forms of art, an age old tradition of Indian wrestling established centuries ago finds its way to survive in the lives of few remaining wrestlers who have made it a way of life more than a sport. This photo is from my ongoing photo series about a traditional form of Indian mud-clay wrestling; ‘Kushti’ and practitioners of this wrestling art called the ‘Pehlwans', who start their daily ritual of exercise at sunrise and practice in rounds facing each other in an 'Akhada'(arena). For these wrestlers, Kushti is a lifestyle, a discipline, a way of life.
