Timeless Traditions: India's Living Sports Legacy
Where Ancient Games Meet Modern Passion
For over 3,000 years, India's soil has nurtured unique sports that tell stories of warriors, farmers, and royal courts. At SportHub, we preserve this legacy while fueling modern athleticism. Discover how rural kabaddi tournaments in Punjab inspire international leagues, why Kerala's snake boat races demand 100-rower precision, and how traditional mallakhamb (yoga gymnastics) is now training Olympic athletes. Our team travels to remote villages to document endangered sports, partnering with UNESCO to protect living traditions like Chhau dance-martial art fusion.
