Found in Jaipur (the Pink City of India), Hawa Mahal is a stunning castle made with red and pink sandstone. Originally built for women of royalty, the palace takes the shape of a crown with 953 windows so that the ladies could conveniently watch city life outside the castle walls. Its honey comb facade makes for an ever tantalising view and has established Hawa Mahal as one of the most popular attractions in Rajasthan!

Kushti (Indian Wrestling) is a popular game at Kolhapur. In this south-eastern Indian city, Kushti has a long tradition. It used to be supported by local maharajas. Some of the Kings were themselves, good wrestlers. This game flourished here during the reign of Shri Chatrapati Shahu Maharaj, the King of Kolhapur, who ascended the throne in 1894. During this golden age, the monarch built hundreds of Akhadas all over the city and held tournaments, inviting best wrestlers from all over India and beyond. Wrestlers wake ups at 3:30 AM in the morning. They practice six times a week more than 6 hours every day. They live together in one small room above the arena and their only belongings are a blanket, few items of clothes and some books about the art of Kushti.
