Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Ahead of their much-anticipated home fixtures in Raipur, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru squad took time away from the field to immerse themselves in the rich culture and traditions of Chhattisgarh, experiencing the region’s local food, music, art and heritage in an expo that brought the team closer to the spirit of the state.

As part of the cultural experience, the players were welcomed with traditional music and dance performances before exploring local handicrafts, tribal art forms and regional cuisine that showcased the diversity and heritage of Chhattisgarh.

“I really liked it, especially when we entered and they played traditional music with drums while people were dancing. We also got to learn about the tribal communities here and their history, which was really special,” said captain Rajat Patidar.
