International Kushti Wrestling match in nawalparasi

Posted by Anup Baral February 23, 2016:
Nawalparasi District Nepali, a part of Lumbini Zone, is one of the seventy-five districts of Nepal, a landlocked country of South Asia.

kushti is a form of wrestling from South Asia. It was developed in the Mughal era through a synthesis of the malla-yuddha form of wrestling in South Asia.The history of Varzesh-e Bastani in Persia or Ancient Iran can be traced back to the Parthian Empire of Iran (132 BC - 226 AD). Even the word Pahlavan comes from Parthia (according to one of the most reliable sources on history of the ancient Iran, "History of Ancient Iran" by Hasan Pirnia). A practitioner of this sport is referred to as a pehlwan, while teachers are known as ustad (or guru, for Hindu teachers).[2] The undefeated champions of India hold the title Rustam-i-Hind, meaning "the Rostam of India", whereas the title Rustam-i-Pakistan is similarly used in Pakistan, denoting Rostam: the hero of the Iranian national epic, the Shahnameh.
