Antakshari
Antakshari, also known as Antyakshari (अंताक्षरी ) is a spoken parlor game played in India. Each contestant sings the first verse of a song (often Classical Hindustani or Bollywood songs) that begins with the consonant of Hindi alphabet on which the previous contestant's song ended. Etymology The word is derived from two Sanskrit words: ''antya'' (अन्त्य) meaning end + ''akshara'' (अक्षर) meaning letter of the alphabet. When these words are combined and an '-i' suffixed, the term means "''The game of the ending letter''". Due to schwa syncope in Hindi and other Indo-Aryan languages, Antyakshari is pronounced ''antakshri''. A dialectical variation of the word is इन्ताक्षरी or ''intakshri''. Origin Antakshari was originally present in the Ramayana, where rishis (sages) sang the first verses of bhajanas continuously by singing another Bhajana beginning with the last letter of the ending word.
