Chittagong's traditional Jabbarer Boli Khela was initiated in 1909 by Abdul Jabbar Saudagar, a businessman from Bakshi Hat, Chittagong, aiming to engage the youth in the anti-British movement. Since then, until 2019, Jabbarer Boli Khela has been held annually on the 12th of Baisakh at Laldighi Maidan in Chittagong city.
This year’s 115th edition of Boli Khela commenced at the Laldighi ground in Chittagong city around 4:30pm on Thursday, attracting wrestlers from various parts of the country.
The photos were taken by freelance photographer Sumon Das.
