Two wrestlers


This is another picture that caught my eye at the 1000 pillared mandapam.
What's happening here is a single-leg takedown.

The guy on the left is just about to take his opponent down. From this point, he would put his shoulder in and just go forward. A snapshot of wrestling action circa 16th century Madurai :)

Four Monkeys

This is from the 1000-pillar mandapam in Madurai. The mandapam has been converted into a musuem. More on that later.
