Description:

Mahabharata is said to be one of the greatest epics of human history. The central point of this story is the game of Chaupar. This game is a board game based on the throw of dice.

In Mahabharata the cunning uncle Shakuni of the Kauravas incites the Pandavas to play a game of Chaupar in which Shakuni chooses to use dice that are made of the bones of his ancestors and thus always favour him. In this way he succeeds in making Pandavas lose their kingdoms, themselves and their wife Draupadi (who was wed to all five Pandavas).

The Kauravas attempt to insult Draupadi, (to avange in return of an earlier incident in which she had ridiculed the Kaurava Duryodhana) by dragging her by her hair and by stripping her in the court but Draupadi invokes Lord Krishna who appears with his Sudarshana Chakra (a radiant wheel) from which emerges an endless stream of fabric that extends as Draupadi's garment thus preventing her from losing her modesty. The Pandava Bhima angered at the behavior of the Kauravas vows, "May I never reach Heaven or meet my ancestors hereafter if, for these deeds of sin, I do not break the knee of Duryodhana  in battle, and drink the blood of Duhsasana (one of the Kauravas)!" This is the incident that formed the background to the great war.

In the card the board of Chaupar is shown painted in red and white to symbolize the two opposites. Around it is draped the fabric of Draupadi's robe which emerges from the wheel of Krishna to be made infinite in length, symbolizing the infinite potential of creation that exists if we open ourselves to the Divine. On the four corners of the Chaupar are the four symbols of the battle of Mahabharata, Swords (air), Shells (water), Clubs (wands) and Shields (earth), symbolisign the different aspects of worldly existence that present challenges to us and help us in our learning process.

As the Wheel of Fortune, Chaupar teaches us that fortunes can change suddenly through folly or guile, but through our determination and will power we can reverse ill fortunes and restore our victory.
