The combination of strategy and mobility in the traditional sport of “wanju bara” in the heart of Punjab continues to enthrall young players.
Deeply ingrained in the local culture, the game is still a favorite among kids and young adults, especially in Chak Jhumra, where local fans fervently preserve the custom.
Drawing a grid of squares on the ground is the object of the game, which is played on open areas. One team is positioned on the lines, and the other team tries to move through the designated areas without getting tagged.
A defending player loses the round if they make contact with an opponent. The game is a test of both speed and intelligence since it calls for rapid reactions, astute judgment, and teamwork.
