This photograph was taken in August 1996 at a hill temple near Khejarala, Rajesthan, India. Each player has sixteen stones placed on the intersection of the lines, one player to the left of the board and the other to the right.
Players move alternatively and can move in any direction along a line to an adjacent point.
A capture is made by jumping over an enemy piece to a vacant point beyond - several pieces can be captured in one move by a series of leaps over single enemy pieces. A player loses when all their pieces have been captured. A variant gives each player seven extra pieces, placed on the points of the triangle to the player's left.
