[Johannes Schneider]

Dear Jean-Michel Delire,

for the Nasik board please consult Harold J. R. Murray's "A history of 
board games other than chess" (Oxford 1952), pp. 108-112, esp. fig. 52 
and nrs. 5.6.1, 5.6.2 and 5.6.4 (from Malaya), 5.6.5 (Sumatra), 5.6.12 
(Assam) and 5.6.15 (Deccan). The game is also mentioned by David Parlett 
in his "The Oxford history of board games" (Oxford 1999), pp. 193-195, 
fig. 12.13. This website form South India may be also helpful:
