Girls display Single Stick, a type of Silambam, a weapon based Indian Martial arts, on October 4, 2017 in Pune, India. The word Silambam means either a mountain or merely to sound (as verb). While the Silambam fencers are fighting, the weapon makes sound. This might have been the cause for its being named as Silambam.
