in the yubi lakpi game the ball is also rub with coconut oil??
Answers
Explanation:
Yubi Lakpi is a popular outdoor game played in Indian state of Manipuri, using a coconut. It is played only by men. It requires a great deal of vigorous body play and stamina. The game demands wrestling ability, speed, great reflexes and a sharp mind. It has some notable similarities to rugby. Unlike rugby it is an individual sport, not a team one.
Yubi in Manipuri means coconut, and lakpi means snatching. The game is traditionally associated with the hindu mythology of 'Samundra Manthan'. It is said to have started as a ceremonial re-enactment of the celestial snatching of pot of 'Amrita', the drink of immortality from Asuras (demons). An official game is held on the occasion of the Yaoshang Festival of Shree Govindajee at palace ground and with Royal presence. Some games take place at the Bijoy Govinda Temple Ground.
