Kushti is a form of wrestling and is partially inspired by Folkstyle wrestling, Freestyle wrestling and mixed martial arts. It was developed by combining Persian Koshti Pahleyani with influences from native Indian Malla-Yuddha in the Mughal Empire. Kushti as a sport and routine is practiced across Indian states.
Kolhapur is known as the historical Kushti / Wrestling capital of India and has produced noted wrestlers. The sport flourished during the reign of Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj (ruled 1894–1922). Shahu Maharaj built akharas all over Kolhapur and organized wrestling tournaments, inviting wrestlers from across undivided India. Since then, Kolhapur’s wrestling culture has been dominated by Gangavesh Akhara, Shahupuri Akhara, Motibag Akhara.
In each of these akharas, more than seventy wrestlers undertake taleem or training. India’s first individual Olympic Khashaba Dadasaheb Jadhav, India’s first Hind Kesari Shripati Khanchnale, Rustam-E-Hind Dadu Chougule belonged to Kolhapur.

Lampoon is a cultural magazine.
Culture today means sustainability – in its honest meaning.
Culture has always been about human respect, tolerance. It’s not only about accepting human diversity but it’s about searching for the beauty of every human peculiarity.
Inclusion is the first value that defines art. Culture today means one thing only: to be part of a community, to think as a community.
Reading Lampoon, you see that these themes are smoothly aligned. A good part of the articles’ content discusses practices to restore our environment and stories about understanding the others.
Reading Lampoon, you find a dialogue between science and creativity. From sharp and edgy photo sessions to fashion, architecture, technology – the commitment is dedicated to a future that is all about us – together.
