A six-dice street and festival game from the North-East (also "Langur Burja" in Nepal): bet on a symbol, roll six symbol dice, get paid per matching die.

Origin & popularity in India

A fixture of fairs and festival grounds in Assam and the wider North-East for generations; online studios later adapted it as a casual format.

Game mechanics

Six dice carry six symbols each; players stake on symbols, all six dice are rolled, and a stake pays out per die showing the chosen symbol.

Variations

Regional popularity

North-East heartland (Assam especially), with festival-season play elsewhere.

Legal considerations

A chance-based dice game; staked play falls under state prohibitions and the online version under the 2025 federal ban.
