Malakhra (Urdu: ملاكهرا) is the South Asian form of sport wrestling, as opposed to malla-yuddha or combat-wrestling. It is mostly played in Pakistan and parts of India. The match begins with both wrestlers tying a twisted cloth around the opponent's waist. Each one then holds onto the opponent's waistcloth and tries to throw him to the ground.
