Kabaddi is a contact team sport native to India. Two teams occupy opposite halves of a field and take turns sending a 'raider' into the opposing half to tag opponents and return to their own half, all while holding their breath and chanting 'kabaddi, kabaddi'. Points are scored for tagging opponents and for preventing the raider from returning.
Beach Kabaddi is a variant of the traditional Kabaddi game played on a sandy surface, typically a beach. The rules are largely similar to standard kabaddi but adapted for the unique playing conditions of sand, which can affect player movement and game dynamics.
Competitive exams often ask about winners of state-level or national-level sports championships, especially for traditional Indian sports.
Remember 'VB' for Vizianagaram (Women) and Bapatla (Men) winning the Beach Kabaddi titles.
