Kreeda Parama Pada Sopanam
Kreeda’s Parama Pada Sopanam is based on the traditional version where each of the ladders is named after a virtue, and each of the snakes is named after a character from mythology who represents a vice.
Steps to the Highest Place
Parama Pada Sopanam means Steps to the Highest Place (where Parama Pada means highest place and Sopanam means steps). This is a traditional version of the popular game of Snakes and Ladders. The game was believed to be symbolic of a man’s attempt to reach God. The ladders represent virtues, and the snakes represent vices. The snakes carry names linking them to stories from our epics.
Kreeda has slightly modified the traditional game to appeal to today’s children. Printed on a 2ft by 2.5ft canvas, the game is attractively designed and appealing. All the snakes in the games have names such as Bakasura, Kumbakarna etc. which are representative of certain vices. The instruction sheets with the game give a short story of these characters to make it more appealing to children and parents.
