Deux anneaux de jet "chakram", "chakar", "chakra"

Description

steel,

This weapon was used sporadically throughout central and northern India for many centuries. It is most closely associated, however, with the Punjab region and in particular with the Sikhs, by whom it is referred to as a “chakar”.

The ring with a sharpened outer edge was thrown or hurled, either by being released after being twirled around the smooth inside edge by the forefinger or released frisbee-like or discus style. It has an effective range of 40 to 50 metres.
