## What is Paramapadham?

Paramapadham (பரமபத சோபன படம்) - The Path to Moksha

THE ORIGINAL SNAKES & LADDERS

Did you know that "Snakes and Ladders" originated from ancient India? Paramapadham is the traditional board game that inspired it. Unlike its western version, every square has spiritual significance.

FEATURES

- 132 squares representing the spiritual journey
- 13 snakes representing vices that pull you down
- 10 ladders representing virtues that elevate you
- Beautiful traditional Indian temple artwork
- Authentic dice rolling and movement sounds
- Bilingual support - English and Tamil (தமிழ்)
- Save your game and continue anytime
- Works completely offline

HOW TO PLAY

1. Tap the dice to roll
2. Roll 1,5, or 6 to begin the journey (traditional rule)
3. Your pilgrim moves automatically
4. Land on a ladder base → Climb up
5. Land on a snake head → Slide down
6. Reach square 132 (Moksha) → Victory!

SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE

The journey from square 1 to 132 represents the soul's journey toward Moksha (liberation). Ladders represent good karma. Snakes represent bad karma.

Perfect for families, culture enthusiasts, and classic board game lovers.
