Pcheda

Pcheda is a traditional Indian game held in Viswema, Nagaland that requires players to throw thin bamboo sticks from a set distance. An open competition is held annually in the month of January.[1][2][3]

Game

Pcheda is played with thin dried bamboo sticks called Opche. The players are divided into two teams. The teams then compete to throw the bamboo stick through a platform on a solid mud to the farthest distance possible where the winner is determined by the team which throws the stick to the farthest distance.[4]
