A three-day annual sports spectacle has just wrapped up in India's northern state of Punjab. On the last day, a grand finale showed off a series of thrilling events. Jaw-dropping stunts on motorcycles, and an elephant race, stole the spotlight. The unique sports festival dates back to 1933, and includes 40 to 50 events. Organizers hope it can help keep alive the tradition and culture of Punjab and encourage youngsters to connect with their roots.
