Sweetened lassi is a yoghurt-based drink with added sugar. The figures here describe takeaway and retail samples. It mainly provides carbohydrate, including sugars, along with protein and some fat. Per 100g, it contains 12g of sugars, 2.6g of protein, 0.9g of fat and 92mg of calcium.

Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and supports normal muscle function. Protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. The sugar figure includes both naturally occurring milk sugars and added sugar; the data do not show these separately. This is worth noting when monitoring sugar intake.
