Lathi Khela

Lathi khela is a traditional South Asian martial art and folk sport, particularly associated with Bengal (Bangladesh and West Bengal, India), involving combat and demonstration techniques using a long bamboo or wooden staff called a lathi. Practitioners perform choreographed or competitive routines showing striking, blocking, and defensive maneuvers, often accompanied by drumming, at rural fairs and cultural festivals. It has historical roots as both a self-defense skill and a display of physical prowess passed down through generations.
