Kabaddi

Introducing sports to the Mela for the first time, try your hand at the traditional South Asian sport of Kabaddi. Kabaddi (meaning ‘holding of hand’) is the national game of Bangladesh where two teams occupy opposite halves of a field and take turns sending a "raider" into the other half, in order to win points by tagging or wrestling members of the opposing team; the raider then tries to return to his own half, holding his breath and chanting "kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi" during the whole raid.
