Detailed Description

The project focuses on designing a game based on the elements of Indian temples. The motivation to take up this project was to study an aspect of Indian tradition and culture, a very significant part of which are the Indian temples. This project gave me a chance to understand important and different elements related to Indian culture. The initial objective was to create interest in the subject that encourages self-involvement and motivation to learn more on the subject. The structural and strategical approach of game designing was ideal to create awareness on the subject with a lot of interest, i.e., the rituals, beliefs, myths, and significances attached to them, which are being forgotten with time. Games have been an intimate part of Indian tradition and culture. Some of the most famous and interesting games were developed and played here and became a part of the tradition, e.g., Pachisi.
