Carrom Tournament Organised

Carrom (also known as Karrom) is a "strike and pocket" table game of Eastern origin similar to billiards and table shuffleboard. It is found throughout the East under different names though most non-eastern people know it by the East Asian name of Carroms (or Karrom). It is very popular in Nepal, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and surrounding areas. In South Asia, many clubs and cafés hold regular tournaments. Carrom is very commonly played within families and other functions. Different standards and rules exist in different areas. A popular variant of the game called Duboo is played mostly in Karachi the largest city of Pakistan.
Krishna Pawle organised, through Aadhar Pratisthan, a Carrom Tournament too.
