EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of leisurely afternoons in early 20th century India, as four Indian women engage in a friendly game of Pachisi. Dressed in traditional Indian attire, the women sit cross-legged on a colorful carpet, their noses focused intently on the intricate board before them. The game, known as Pachisi, Pucheesee, Parcheesi, Parchisi, or Parchesi in various parts of the world, was a popular pastime in India long before it was adapted in England and renamed Ludo in the late 19th century. The women's expressions convey a sense of concentration and enjoyment, as they move their pieces around the board, trying to capture their opponents' pieces and make their way back to the home base. The game, which can be played by two to six players, involves rolling dice and moving pieces according to the numbers rolled. The first player to move all of their pieces back to their home base wins the game. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of Indian women during this era, showcasing their vibrant costumes, the intricate details of the Pachisi board, and the warm camaraderie shared among the players. The image is a beautiful reminder of the rich cultural heritage of India and the simple pleasures of a game well-played.
