Pasu Pondi ("sweep four") is an old Indian indoor game mostly played by Tamil women in rural areas of Tamil Nadu, South India. Sometimes it is also played in the open as well. However, the game is usually not played at night. Play often continues for several hours and the players may be surrounded by many spectators who "observe, assist and enthuse" them. The game was first described by Dr L. S. Saraswathi in 1995. Related mancala games are Pallam Kurie and Pandi, both described by Lynn Rohrbough in 1955.
