INDIA-GAMBLING-ARCHERY-TRADITION
To go with story 'India-gambling-archery-tradition'
In this photograph taken on February 2, 2013 an Indian archer counts the amount to be paid to another member of the club before he can collect his group's arrows which made their target at an archery club in the north-eastern city of Shillong. Every weekday afternoon in the picturesque Indian city of Shillong, dozens of men meet to play with bows and arrows, place bets and gamble, keeping a centuries-old tradition alive. The origins of the game, known simply as Siat Khnam or Shoot Arrow and played by men belonging to northeast India's Khasi tribe, are unclear. AFP PHOTO/Roberto SCHMIDT
