Lorenzo Ghiberti, born Lorenzo di Bartolo, was a Florentine Italian artist of the Early Renaissance best known as the creator of the bronze doors of the Florence Baptistery, called by Michelangelo the Gates of Paradise. Trained as a goldsmith and sculptor, he established an important workshop for sculpture in metal, his book of Commentarii contains important writing on art, as well as what may be the earliest surviving autobiography by any artist. Ghiberti was born in Pelago, a comune 20 km from Florence, it is said that Lorenzo was the son of Fiore Ghiberti. However, there is. At some point in their marriage, Fiore went to Florence and lived with a goldsmith by the name of Bartolo di Michele. Fiore and Bartolo maintained a common law marriage, so it is unknown who Ghiberti's biological father is. There is no documentation of Cione's death, but it is known that after his passing Fiore and Bartolo married in 1406. Regardless, Bartolo was the only father Lorenzo knew and they had a close and loving relationship.

Bartolo was a clever and popular goldsmith in Florence, trained Lorenzo in his trade. It was from this apprenticeship. Lorenzo did not confine himself to gold-working, he delighted in modeling copies of antique medals and in painting. Lorenzo received formal training as a painter from Gherardo Starnina, an Italian artist from Florence, he went to work in the Florence workshop of Bartolo di Michele, where Antonio del Pollaiolo worked. When the bubonic plague struck Florence in 1400, Ghiberti moved to Rimini. In Rimini he was fortunate enough to receive employment in the palace of Carlo Malatesta for the Lord of Pesaro, where he assisted in the completion of wall frescoes of the castle of Carlo I Malatesta. At the palace Ghiberti was given a room to paint in, he spent much of his time here, it is believed. However, shortly after his arrival he received word from his friends back in his home town of Florence that the governors of the Baptistery were holding a competition and sending for masters who were skilled in bronze working.

Despite his great appreciation for painting, Ghiberti asked Malatesta for leave. In 1401 he headed back to Florence to participate in a competition, being held for the commission to make a pair of bronze doors for the Baptistery of the Cathedral of Florence. Ghiberti's career was dominated by his two successive commissions for pairs of bronze doors to the Florence Baptistery, they are recognized as a major masterpiece of the Early Renaissance, were famous and influential from their unveiling. Ghiberti first became famous when as a 21-year-old he won the 1401 competition for the first set of bronze doors, with Brunelleschi as the runner up; the original plan was for the doors to depict scenes from the Old Testament, but the plan was changed to depict scenes from the New Testament instead. However, the trial piece made was of the sacrifice of Isaac. To carry out this commission, he set up a large workshop in which many artists trained, including Donatello, Michelozzo and Antonio Pollaiuolo; when his first set of twenty-eight panels was complete, Ghiberti was commissioned to produce a second set for another doorway in the church, this time with scenes from the Old Testament, as intended for his first set.

Instead of twenty-eight scenes, he produced ten rectangular scenes in a different style. These were more naturalistic, with a greater idealization of the subject. Dubbed "The Gates of Paradise" by Michelangelo, this second set remains a major monument of the age of Renaissance humanism; the Gates of Paradise had 10 panels with several episodes from a particular story from the Old Testament portrayed on each of them. The list below shows; the Story of Adam and Eve In the beginning, God created the Universe. Shown on the top of the picture; when he created the universe, he created “The Garden of Eden”.

Punjabi kabaddi called circle style kabaddi, is a contact sport that originated in the Punjab region, in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent. There are a number of traditional Punjabi kabaddi styles traditionally played in the Punjab region. Like standard kabaddi, circle style kabaddi is played at state and international levels, through various governing bodies such as Kabaddi World Cup; the term kabaddi may be derived from the Punjabi word "kauddi", chanted to play kabaddi or, it is derived from "katta" and "vaddi" which together has become kabaddi. In lambi kauddi there are 15 players with a circular pitch of 15–20 feet. There is no outer limit; the players can run as far. There is no referee; the raider will say "kauddi, kauddi" throughout the attack. Saunchi kauddi can best be described as being similar to boxing, it is popular in the Malwa area of Punjab. It is unlimited players with a circular playing pitch. A bamboo with red cloth is dug into the ground, paraded by the winner. In sauchi kabaddi, the raider will hit the defender but only on the chest.

The defender will hold the raiders wrist. A foul is declared. If the defender holds the raiders wrist and restricts his movement, he will be declared the winner. If the raider loses the grip of the defender the raider will be the winner. A popular style is Goongi kabaddi where a raider player does not speak and say the word kabaddi but just touches the opponent's team player and the whom he touches only that player will try to stop the player; the struggle will continue till he reaches the starting line or acknowledge the defeat and loses a point, or if he safely reaches the starting line, he will get the point. Chhe handhi. Kabaddi is the regional sport of the Punjab region and was referred to as Punjabi kabaddi in India and Pakistan. However, with the formation of the states of Haryana and Punjab in India, the same game was referred to as Punjab kabaddi and Haryana kabaddi; this caused confusion and therefore, in 1978, the Amateur Circle Kabaddi Federation of India was formed and the syle of kabaddi played in the Punjab region was named circle kabaddi.
