Abstract
The present study aims to picture of physical activities and sports in ancient India since the Indus valley period up to medieval period. The physical and sports have remained a good passion and outdoor and indoor activities as revealed through the archaeological and written records during different historical periods. Ancient India had a rich tradition of games that were played and passed on through generations and cultures for not only leisure but also to develop mental capabilities and maintain physical fitness. During ancient times, physical fitness was given prime importance, especially by the kings and the higher-class warriors. Physical education in the past was part and parcel of daily life, it was not considered merely as a vocational or free time activity. It was considered as a fundamental factor for self realization. Upanishad has strongly advocated that the attainment of the powerful soul is not possible for a weak individual.
