Contexto cultural
During the festival of Mangalagaur, women perform 'Phugadi', a traditional game that involves spinning in pairs. It's considered a 'khel' that celebrates womanhood and physical fitness. Kabaddi and Kho-Kho are not just sports but a matter of village pride. Local 'Jatras' (fairs) always feature these 'khel' competitions. The metaphor of 'Khel' is central to many Marathi films. The song 'Khel Mandala' from the movie 'Natrang' uses the game as a metaphor for the struggles of a folk artist. In cities like Mumbai, 'Gully Cricket' is the most popular 'khel'. It has its own set of informal rules and is a major part of childhood.
