This Aussie Tourist Loved Getting Tossed Around In The Mud More Than He Loved Taj Mahal
Last Updated: Australian tourist Tom visited the Taj Mahal and wrestled with locals at the Brahmin Akhara in Agra, respecting customs and gaining admiration An Australian tourist visiting the Taj Mahal in Agra on Saturday showcased an unexpected enthusiasm for Indian culture and traditional sport. After touring the iconic monument, Tom and his German companion ventured towards Dussehra Ghat, where they came across the Brahmin Akhara, a traditional Indian wrestling arena. Rather than remaining a spectator, Tom expressed interest in experiencing the sport first-hand. Donning a traditional langot (loincloth), he stepped into the arena and engaged in a friendly bout with local wrestler Shivaji Dubey. The two wrestled for 8 to 10 minutes, attracting a curious crowd. Though Tom didn't claim victory, he immersed himself in the Akhara tradition and made an effort to learn its techniques. Sundar Dubey, who oversees the arena, praised Tom for respecting the Akhara's customs and rules. 'He wore the proper attire, followed the rituals, and genuinely tried to grasp the basics of Indian wrestling," he said. The unusual sight of a foreigner participating in a desi Akhara quickly went viral on social media, drawing admiration for his sporting spirit and cultural respect. Tom later said the experience was a highlight of his visit, adding that the warmth of the people and richness of Braj's traditions left a deep impression on him.
