Lathi khela

Lathi Khela is a type of sport that comes from Bangladesh. It is played by two teams where each team has many players. The game is played with a long stick called a lathi, which is about as long as a tall person.

The teams gather together and then start the game by holding their sticks and hitting their opponent's sticks with their own sticks. The players on each team try to protect their sticks from being hit and to hit their opponent's sticks as much as possible.

The game has a lot of rules, but the idea is to hit the opponent's stick so hard that it breaks or falls out of their hand. When this happens, the player whose stick was broken or dropped is out of the game. The team with the most players left standing at the end of the game is the winner.

Lathi Khela is a popular game because it requires skill, strategy, and physical strength. It is also a way for people to come together and enjoy some friendly competition.
