# Museum in Ladakh near LoC preserves knucklebones game traditions 2026-08-10T01:49:25+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The New Indian Express reports on a community-led heritage project in Ladakh. The Unlock Hundarman, Museum of Memories in Hundarman village, near Kargil and close to the Line of Control, preserves everyday objects from the abandoned part of the settlement. Among the exhibits are goat knucklebones used in traditional Balti/Ladakhi games. The knucklebone, or astragalus, is an ankle bone that naturally lands on one of four sides, acting like a die. Panels describe a game combining dice and striking. The museum, housed in an old ancestral home, tells stories of families disrupted by the Indo-Pak conflicts. ## Coverage - newindianexpress.com Tags: Hundarman, knucklebones, Ladakh, Line of Control, Museum of Memories, traditional games Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/museum-in-ladakh-near-loc-preserves-knucklebones-game-traditions/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
