Kalanay Belanay, a game from Karnataka, was taught to the Kreeda staff by a lady anxious to see the games she played as a child passed on to the next generation. This is a true representation of the value of research and the role of all people in ensuring that these games are preserved. An interesting game played with shells and board, it is unusual and exciting. Responding to an NGO's call, Kreeda has replaced the traditional cowrie shells with shell shaped wooden pieces handcrafted by artisans in Channapatna. Also known as White elephant and Black elephant.
