Jain Tambola Housie Game

Jain housie, also called Jain tambola, is the tambola every family already knows with the numbers replaced by Jainism. Depending on the edition the caller reads out tirth names, Tirthankar details, puja steps or general knowledge questions, players hunt through their printed tickets, and the first full ticket shouts Housie. Editions cover tirths, mahapurush, mantras and festivals, with bundles for groups that want variety.

Groups play Jain housie at updhan, pathshala, shibir and youth camps, on the tirth yatra bus, and at home on Paryushan evenings. Sanghs order sets so every family takes one home as prabhavna.
