Mallakhamb (“malla” stands for wrestler, “khamb” means pole) appeared as exercises for Indian wrestlers in 17th century. Sportsmen had to use a 2.6 m wood pole, and today this tradition is practiced by many gymnastics. On these photos you can see many Indians balancing on the pole and building human pyramids around it. What makes Mallakhamb the most unbelievable sport is that some of the guys who are fond of it are blind!
