Murtoo

Murtoo is a traditional Indian game played primarily in the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat. It is a form of blindman's buff, where players attempt to identify objects or people by touch alone. The game is often played during festivals and social gatherings, and it serves as a means of entertainment and social interaction.

The game typically involves a group of players, with one person acting as the "murtoo" or the blindfolded participant. The murtoo is guided by a team of helpers who describe the object or person they are touching. The murtoo's task is to guess the identity of the object or person based on the descriptions provided by the helpers.

Murtoo can be played with various objects, such as fruits, vegetables, animals, or even people. The game requires a good sense of touch and the ability to interpret descriptions accurately. It is a popular pastime in rural areas and is often played as a form of recreation and bonding among friends and family.

The rules of murtoo can vary depending on the region and the specific group playing the game. However, the basic objective remains the same: to guess the identity of the object or person being touched by the murtoo. The game is not only entertaining but also helps in developing the senses of touch and interpretation skills.
