The lecture sheds light on the identification of the various sports practiced by Indian women through the Indian School manuscript miniatures. The study demonstrates the extent to which Indian women have been interested in their physical fitness and sports activity. In addition to their agility and skill while performing various sports, such as hunting, shooting, swimming, ball and mace (polo), gymnastics, and dancing, Indian women practice various mental sports and yoga.
