This is a picture of Pritviraj and Vinod, who are pehlwans (Hindi word for wrestlers).
I shot it during their training at the gym, at sunrise near Scindia Ghat along river Ganga in Varanasi (Benaras).

The poses that I am showing belong to sequences of a basic training that any pehlwan has to do everyday.
Pehlwani (Devanagari: पहलवानी, Urdu: پہلوانی), Kushti (Devanagari: कुश्ती, Urdu: کشتی), or modern Indian wrestling, is a synthesis of an indigenous Aryan / Hindu form of wrestling that dates back at least to the 5th century BC and a Persian form of wrestling brought into South Asia by the Mughals.
