Akhara Swaminath sits near Tulsi Ghat, identifiable by the scent of freshly turned earth and the presence of ancient pipal and neem trees providing shade over its open-air wrestling pit. This site functions as a traditional gymnasium where wrestlers train in the ancient Indian discipline of kushti. The pit itself contains specially prepared soil, mixed with curd, turmeric, and mustard oil, which practitioners believe possesses healing properties for the skin.
