One of India’s most well-known and widely played traditional games is Kho-Kho. It is played by multiple teams, each of which is comprised of 12 players, of which 9 join the playing field and the remaining 3 become the members of the defending team. The sport of Kho-Kho is played outside and is regarded as a game that requires both method and strategy. It is a game that has a very high level of competition.

It took place at the Baldev Raj Mittal Unipolis of Lovely Professional University. The event lasted three days, and there was a total of 14 teams that fiercely competed against one another.
