Moksha Patam
Moksha Patam is a traditional Indian board game, often referred to as the "Game of Liberation." It is played on a square board with a grid of numbered squares, where players move their pieces based on the roll of dice. The objective is to reach the final square, symbolizing spiritual liberation or Moksha, while navigating obstacles and opportunities along the way.
The game incorporates elements of chance and strategy, reflecting the journey of life. Players encounter ladders that help them advance quickly and snakes that send them back, representing the ups and downs of existence. Moksha Patam serves as both entertainment and a metaphor for the spiritual quest in Hindu philosophy.
