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[edit | edit source]
Pcheda is played with thin dried bamboo sticks called Opche. The players are divided into two teams and compete to throw the bamboo stick the furthest distance possible from a platform on solid mud. The winner is the team which throws the stick the furthest distance.[4]
