Siblings Aishwarya and Ananth Karthik will perform stick-fighting, a part of the ancient art Silambam.
Originated and practised in India, Silambam is a martial art form that is said to be fundamental to all self-defence forms. Focussing on hand-eye coordination, stamina, agility, speed and grace, this is a traditional, one-of-a-kind art that has been thriving for thousands of years. This martial art style uses more than seventy types of weapons and bare-hand combat and is a vast combination of culture and values. With an intermix of the past and the present, this is an aspect of culture that should be carried on to the next generation.
