Malakhra

Each wrestler wraps a long sash around their waist, leaving a length free for their opponent to grip.

Wrestlers face off and grab only the opponent's sash, never their body directly, to begin the match.

Using throws, trips, and sash pulls, each competitor tries to force the other off balance and to the ground.

A match is won when one wrestler's back or shoulders touch the ground, or when the referee calls a clear advantage.

Wrestlers reset and restart from a standing grip after each fall to begin the next round.
