The journey of Ganjifa: India’s first GI-tagged traditional card game

Ganjifa is a historic circular card game that was once a favorite pastime of Indian royalty, celebrated for its detailed hand-painted artwork and themes rooted in mythology. Following its revival in Sawantwadi, Maharashtra, this centuries-old craft earned a Geographical Indication (GI) tag in 2024. This official status underscores the game's cultural significance and bolsters initiatives aimed at protecting this distinct artistic heritage for the years to come.
