The game of knowledge: playing at spiritual liberation in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century western India

Schmidt-Madsen, Jacob

This book tells the fascinating story of an Indian board game from its origin in mystical charts of the astral body to its modern adaptation by the British as an abstract childrens game. The story is told through beautifully handcrafted gameboards and little-known texts and manuscripts.
