Great find. Great shots. All the pics looked high-key. I kept wondering how they would've looked low-key with a bit of grain - would've looked more dramatic? Or may be I missed the affect you are going for. I didn’t even know such wrestlers existed. Great find. Great shots.

You have really shown the power and grace of the sport. The physiques of a lot of them would seem to contradict the Western perception of the Indian man as a skinny brainiac. A lot of people seem to like to photograph Kushti wrestling, it does seem a photogenic subject, but these are among the best images i have seen of it. So glad I clicked on the link in Craig Ferguson's tweet. These are some really beautiful images. You have really shown the power and grace of the sport.
