Basically, it is a tradition started by the last Sikh Guru- Guru Gobind

Singh

ji

for them to practice Martial Arts and to do mock battles.

They do it partly to celebrate Holi,

and partly to practice this. Also there are poetry reading and music which goes onto the celebrating this.

I know it is not too helpful, though it is what I think
