The Jhandi Munda Game
Rules & How to Play
Jhandi Munda — also known as Langur Burja or Crown and Anchor — is a traditional dice game played with six dice, each marked with six symbols. You bet on one or more symbols, all six dice are rolled at once, and your result depends on how many of the dice show your chosen symbol. It is quick to learn and decided by chance, which is why it has stayed popular at fairs and gatherings for generations.
This guide explains Jhandi Munda in plain terms: what the game is, the six symbols on the dice, how a round is played, the basic rules, the features of the online version and a few tips for newcomers. The sections below cover everything a first-time player needs to understand the game before sitting down at a table.
Jhandi Munda is a traditional dice game, also known as Langur Burja in many parts of India and as Crown and Anchor in its Western form. It is usually played with six dice, and each die is marked with the same six symbols — commonly Spade, Club, Diamond, Heart, a Flag (the “Jhandi”) and a Face (the “Munda”), or a crown and an anchor with four card suits in the Crown and Anchor version. You place a bet on one or more of these symbols, all six dice are rolled together, and the outcome of your bet depends on how many of the dice land on the symbol you chose.

Unlike a card game such as Teen Patti, there are no hands to read and no opponents to bluff. Jhandi Munda is a pure symbol-matching game: you pick a symbol, the dice are rolled, and the more of them that show your symbol, the better the result for that bet. That simplicity is what has kept it popular at fairs, festivals and family gatherings for generations.
A round of Jhandi Munda follows this flow:
The rules of Jhandi Munda are short. The game uses six dice, and every die carries the same six symbols, one on each face. Before the dice are rolled you choose one or more symbols to bet on and set your stake. All six dice are then rolled at the same time. Once they settle, the game counts how many of the dice show each symbol. For every symbol you backed, your result is decided by how many of the dice landed on it: if none of the dice show your symbol, that bet does not succeed, while one or more matches gives a successful result that grows as the number of matching dice increases. Each roll is independent of the last and is decided by a certified random number generator, so a symbol that appeared often in one round is no more or less likely to appear in the next.
