Asset Overview

The chakram (Sanskrit: chakram; Punjabi: chakkar) is a throwing weapon from the Indian subcontinent. One of its major purpose is also to protect the turban and the head from sword/melee attacks. It is circular with a sharpened outer edge and a diameter of 12–30 centimetres (4.7–11.8 in). It is also known as chalikar meaning "circle", and was sometimes referred to in English writings as a "war-quoit". The Chakram is primarily a throwing weapon but can also be used hand-to-hand. A smaller variant called chakri was worn on the wrist.
