Chang, the local barley beer, flows freely, but there is rarely any rowdiness. The crowd attend in their sunday best, the men invariable in traditional dress, and the women wearing their brightest brocade mantles and their heaviest jewellery. Archery may be the pretext for the gathering, but the party's thing. Polo is traditional to the western himalaya, especially to baltistan and gilgit. It was probably introduced into ladakh in the mid - 17th century by king sengge namgyal, whose mother was a balti princess. The game played here differs in many respects from the international game, which indeed, is adapted from what british travellers saw in the western himalaya and manipur in the 19th century. Here, each team consists of six players, and the game lasts for an hour with a ten minute break. Altitude notwithstanding, the hardy local ponies - the best of which come from zanskar - scarcely seem to suffer, though play can be fast and furious. Each goal is greeted by a bust of music from surna and daman ; and the players often show extraordinary skill. For example, when starting play after a goal the scorer gallops up to midfield holding ball and mallet in the right hand, and throws the ball, hitting it in the same movement towards the opposite goal. Unlike the international game, polo in ladakh is not exclusively for the rich. Traditionally, almost every village had its polo-ground, and even today it is played with verve in many places besides leh, especially in drass and chushot, a big village close to leh. In leh, it has been partly institutionalized with regular tournaments and occasional exhibition matches being played on the polo-ground in the shadow of the palace.
