The "Khasi Tournament" is the most significant local tournament held yearly in the region before the Durga Puja festival. It is organized by each village ward and typically involves six to ten teams divided into two sides. The players exclusively consist of locals representing their respective villages. Back then, the champions were rewarded with a "khasi," which is a Nepali word for a male goat. This tradition was tied to the practice of sacrificing animals during the Durga Puja festival, observed by Hindus. However, with growing concerns for animal welfare and rights in India, the practice has been stopped by the village elders. The winning team receives trophies and cash prizes instead. Despite the change, the tournament has retained its original name "Khasi," as it has gained popularity and the majority of villagers are content with referring to it as the "Khasi Tournament."
