The relationship between art and sports is not very close. While art is subtle and spiritual, sports are gross and largely concerned with physical energy. However, not all sports are limited to physical skills. There are many sports that only stimulate the brain and psychological strength. Indoor games such as Chess, Cards etc depend on mental strength and have subtle forms of brain power. As in the game of Cards, there are many new applications in the colours, lines and figures in its making. The most beautiful combination of art and sports can be seen in ‘Ganjapa’ of Odisha. Let’s talk about this lesser-known art form, which is also part of a dying tradition of interior games.
