'It is everything': India's traditional mud wrestling thrives

Traditional Indian mud wrestling, known as "kushti" or "dangal", has millennia-old roots but remains hugely popular.

The sport, which blends traditional hand-to-hand combat with Persian martial arts, has acted as a training ground for several Indian athletes to win wrestling medals at the Olympic Games.
