'''Leela''' is a [[board game]] with origins in ancient [[India]]. The original game was created by Hindu scholars with the intention of teaching moral values, and was a precursor to the modern game [[snakes and ladders]].<ref>Harish Johari (1975), Leela, the Game of Self-Knowledge: Commentaries, {{ISBN|0-89281-419-5}}</ref><ref>Radoff, Jon (2010), History of Social Games, {{cite web |url=http://radoff.com/blog/2010/05/24/history-social-games/ |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2010-05-24 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100527090108/http://radoff.com/blog/2010/05/24/history-social-games/ |archivedate=2010-05-27 }}</ref><br />
