Form of wrestling from the Indian subcontinent

Pehlwani, also known as Kushti, is a form of wrestling practiced in the Punjab region. It was developed in the Mughal Empire by combining Persian Koshti pahlevani with influences from native South Asian Malla-yuddha. The words pehlwani and kushti derive from the Persian terms pahlavani (heroic) and koshti respectively, meaning "heroic wrestling". A practitioner of this sport is referred to as a pehlwan while teachers are known as ustad or guru.
