Carnatic Snakes and Ladders!

For the true Rasika, there is never a dull moment. But then, if you do catch yourself with nothing to go to, nothing to listen to, here is a true time-pass game: The Carnatic Snakes and Ladders.

How to Play

  1. In this virtual board game, you can roll the dice by clicking on the words in the box "Read the Dice!"In a few seconds, you get the roll of dice score as the Result. Use that number to move your cursor. 
  2. Read the words in the box where your move takes you. And fully savour the moment mentioned there. 
  3. And then roll the dice again. And move on.
  4. If you land in a box at the bottom of a ladder, you climb up to the box the ladder takes you to. If you hit the box with the mouth of a snake, you drop down to the box of its tail. So watch out!
  5. After several moves, you MAY reach the box where you can enjoy pure Carnatic music as mother makes it. That is called Nirvana. Till you start all over again.
  6. One, two, or more can play this game, only cheating is easily done and easily caught, too.
So play on!
