The first kabaddi match of 2024 showcased the rich cultural heritage of India through various traditional products used during the event. Players wore jutti, the traditional Punjabi footwear known for its intricate embroidery and comfortable design, providing excellent grip on the playing surface.
Many spectators enjoyed the match while snacking on poha, a popular Indian breakfast dish made from flattened rice, onions, and spices. The organizing committee distributed packets of chyawanprash, an ancient Ayurvedic health supplement, to all participants to boost their immunity and energy levels.
Several players were seen applying pain relief balms containing natural ingredients like eucalyptus and camphor, commonly used in Indian households. The winning team celebrated with glasses of lassi, a traditional yogurt-based drink that helps in post-game recovery and hydration.
Vendors around the stadium sold various Indian products including handcrafted leather balls, organic neem oil for muscle relaxation, and packets of roasted chana for quick energy. The event also featured demonstrations of madhubani art, a traditional Indian painting style, on the kabaddi court. |
