DEMONSTRATIONS & PARTICIPATION OF KHOMLAINAI
Khomlainai has transcended regional boundaries to reach international platforms through live demonstrations and cultural showcases held across different parts of the world. These demonstrations have introduced global audiences to the strength, discipline, and indigenous wisdom embedded in this traditional wrestling form of the Boro community. Performed at cultural festivals, international events, and awareness programs, Khomlainai demonstrations have drawn attention for their raw athleticism, unique techniques, and deep cultural roots. By representing Bodoland and Northeast India on global stages, these demonstrations have played a vital role in preserving heritage, fostering cross-cultural exchange, and positioning Khomlainai as a living tradition with universal appeal.
