The championship is governed by the Indian Style Wrestling Championship (ISWC) and has been held regularly to identify India's strongest and most skilled heavyweight wrestler: the true HIND KESARI — Lion of India.

The grand Dangal (wrestling tournament) where the Hind Kesari title is contested brings together the finest pehelwans from all corners of India — from the akhadas of Delhi, UP, Maharashtra, Haryana, Punjab and beyond.
