Sword swallowers in India are known by the term "golewala" or "jolewale" or "jholewale" or "jholawalla" or "jollahwallah" or "jadoowallah" (meaning "juggler", "busker" or "street performer") or "jagudar" (meaning "magician" or "miracle worker"). Sword swallowing is still performed in a few parts of India today.
Some of the earliest known references to sword swallowing were documented over four thousand years ago in India by fakirs and shaman priests who practiced the art around 2000 BC, along with fire-eating, fire-walking on hot coals, laying on cactus or a bed of nails, snake handling, and other ascetic religious practices, as demonstration of their invulnerability, power, and connection with their gods.
