Swaminathan Akhada Documentary Varanasi | Gada | Jori | Sumtola | Gar Nal | Yoga | Kushti

What a beautiful day in Varanasi back in February. Pratyay Singh (@gyanindianjori) was helping me during my time in Varanasi with information and locations. I have visited this Akhara before, but have never had such a complete experience before. We had a chance to work with almost all the equipments that are basic in wrestling Akhada’s: Gada, Jori Clubs, Nal, and Gar Nal. We also did Kushti wrestling, and had an insight into yoga at the Akhada. What a lovely day.
