Know your culture and heritage through games

Do you love to play board games? Then this one is for you.

Dr.Lalitha Ramakrishna, Research Director at Tattvaloka saw her grandchildren play the game Cinderella. Since she is very much interested in ancient Indian culture and heritage, she thought of making a similar game with an Indian theme.  Thus, she invented the Ramayana board game.

Dr. Lalitha’s interest in Indian culture was the reason she decided to make a board game which had moral values, was fun and was a well known story. She chose Ramayana as the story for the game.

She loves interacting with children and felt this was a nice way to do it. Her view is that everything has a value and is appreciated by God.

She is also planning for board games based on other epics. She gave me a tip that board game can be made with any theme. She showed me the game and I found it very interesting.  You roll the dice and answer the questions and get points. At the end of the game whoever has more points would win.

She has done her doctorate in Music and authored several books on Carnatic music. She has also written small stories for children which have moral values to be learnt. She has recently released a book for children to learn Carnaticmusic the fun way. She also gifted me the Ramayana board game and a book called: ‘Why Nani?’
