Indian Hanuman Gada/Mace

When you think of the Gada, Lord Hanuman often comes to mind, representing incredible strength, resilience, and devotion. But the story of the Gada goes way beyond its connection to the divine. Its roots go back to the earliest days of humanity, starting as a basic survival tool and growing into a symbol of honor and discipline.
In ancient times, our ancestors used simple clubs and sticks for hunting, protection, and everyday tasks. Over the years, these tools evolved into the Gada—a weapon and a mark of power. In India’s akharas (traditional wrestling arenas), the Gada became a treasured prize, given to wrestlers who showed great strength, skill, and dedication.
