Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that has gained international recognition in recent years. The game involves two teams of seven players each, where one player from the attacking team （known as the raider） enters the opponent\“s half to tag as many defenders as possible while chanting kabaddi repeatedly without taking a breath.
The drawing of kabaddi players in action captures the dynamic movements and physical intensity of this indigenous sport. Artists often depict the raider stretching to touch defenders while maintaining balance, and defenders forming chains to capture the raider. These drawings showcase the cultural significance of kabaddi in rural and urban India alike.
Traditional kabaddi drawings feature players wearing minimal equipment, highlighting the sport\“s roots in ancient India. Modern artistic representations sometimes incorporate contemporary elements while preserving the essence of this contact team sport that originated in Tamil Nadu over 4,000 years ago. |
