Participants, adorned in vibrant red garlands and symbolic attire, gather for the traditional Lal Kach ritual, a culturally rich and spirited event celebrated in parts of Eastern India, particularly Bengal. This age-old program blends martial discipline with religious devotion, often performed during local festivals to honor deities and invoke protection. The red attire and body paint signify strength, purity, and the divine energy channeled during the performance.
