Maut Ka Kuan – The Indian Wall of Death

Inspired by the American ”Wall of Death” motordromes, Maut Ka Kuan is the Indian version, considered more dangerous because of the lack of safety precautions, the walls are near vertical, and they drive cars in addition to motorcycles. It’s still a popular attraction at many events like Vijayasadhami and Magh Mela, culturally significant festivals celebrated in India and Nepal.
