Mysuru: With Dasara fast approaching, Garadis (wrestling schools) in city have become a bee-hive of activity again, with budding and experienced wrestlers frequenting them to hone and tone their skills ahead of the all important Dasara Wrestling bouts.
Before the start of wrestling competitions, these Garadis are given a facelift with Arishina- Kumkuma decoration. Pailwans (wrestlers) start their practise by breaking the Maddi, called as ‘Matti Odeyuvudu’ and remembering their parents, elders, senior Pailwans, Ustads etc.
