Devotees and participants gather around a church as they attend a religious procession before the start of the ancient game of Lelo Burti, (Field Ball), in the village of Shukhuti in the Guria region of Georgia on May 5, 2024, during the Orthodox Easter celebrations. The brutal folk game of Lelo Burti has no limit to the number of participants or the match time. Nor is there a referee: none is needed when there are so few rules. It is still played occasionally in rural parts of the country such as the village of Shukhuti in the western region of Guria where the annual match commemorates a battle victory by the Gurians over the Ottomans.
