India has a rich heritage of indigenous games that have been played for centuries. These traditional games are deeply rooted in Indian culture and history. Here are some of the prominent indigenous games from India:
1. Kabaddi: A contact team sport played between two teams of seven players each. The objective is for a single player on offense, referred to as a “raider? to run into the opposing team’s half, tag out as many of their defenders as possible, and return to their own half of the court, all without being tackled by the defenders.

2. Kho-Kho: A tag sport played by teams of 12 nominated players out of 15, of which 9 enter the field who sit on their knees (chasing team), and 3 extra (defenders) who try to avoid being touched by members of the opposing team.

3. Gilli-Danda: An amateur sport similar to cricket and baseball, played with two sticks: a large one called a danda, which is used to hit a smaller one, the gull.

4. Mallakhamba: A traditional sport in which a gymnast performs aerial yoga postures and wrestling grips on a vertical wooden pole or rope. It combines physical agility, strength, and grace.
