In India, sports days are celebrated with great enthusiasm and various novelty events that showcase local products and traditions. One popular novelty event is the \“Matka Race\“, where participants balance earthen pots （matkas） on their heads while racing. These matkas are traditional Indian clay pots used for storing water and other liquids, representing the local craftsmanship.
Another interesting event is the \“Lungi Run\“, where participants wear lungis （traditional Indian garments） and compete in races. The lungi is a versatile garment worn by men across India, especially in South India, and is made from cotton or silk fabrics produced locally.
The \“Spice Relay\“ is another novelty event that highlights India\“s famous spice industry. Teams compete to carry baskets of locally grown spices like turmeric, cardamom, and chili powder without spilling them. India is one of the largest producers and exporters of spices in the world.
Lastly, the \“Bangle Break\“ event involves participants running while wearing glass bangles, a traditional Indian accessory. Glass bangles are handmade by local artisans in various regions of India, particularly in Firozabad, which is known as the glass capital of India. |
