The wonderful traditional, but now dying, martial arts of Varanasi, known as Bana (play of sword) and Banethi (play of sticks and ropes with fire), were the points of attraction for the spectators.

The arts of Bana was demonstrated by Shri Madan Lal Yadav and Banethi by Shri Krishna Murari Sharma and his group.

The explanatory note by Dr. N. P. Joshi on the occasion pointed out the practical importance of such games, which was basically meant for both attack and self-defence.

Shrauta-Yaga Mitravindeshti was coordinated by Prof. Yugal Kishor Mishra and Prof. Hridaya Ranjan Sharma
