How to Play (Basic Rules)

Bagh Chal is a two-player strategy game:

Players
• One player controls 4 Tigers
• The other controls 20 Goats

Objective
• Tigers: Capture 5 goats to win
• Goats: Trap all tigers so they cannot move

Gameplay
1. Setup
• Tigers are placed on the four corners of the board.
• Goats start off the board.
2. Turns
• Players take turns.
• The goat player places one goat on the board per turn until all are placed.
3. Movement
• Tigers can move from the beginning.
• Goats can only move after all 20 goats are placed.
4. Capturing
• Tigers capture goats by jumping over them (like in checkers).
• Goats cannot capture tigers.
5. Strategy
• Tigers use power and mobility.
• Goats rely on coordination and blocking.

Centuries-Old Lost-Wax Metal Casting

Each sculpture at Handmade Handicraft is crafted using the ancient cire-perdue (lost-wax) technique, a craft perfected over a millennium by the Newar artisans of Patan. The process begins with sculpting beeswax and Himalayan tree resin by hand. A multi-layered clay mold is formed around the wax, which is melted away in the furnace, creating a void that is filled with molten red copper or bronze.

24K Mercury Gilding

Applied with pure gold leaf and fused using fire gilding for an ethereal sheen that endures for generations.

Cold-Gold Face Painting

The sacred facial features and serene gaze of deities are carefully rendered with powdered cold gold and natural pigments.

Hand-Chiseled Detailing

Intricate robes, mandalas, and jewels are carved by hand with miniature steel chisels and devotion.
