INDIA-GAMBLING-ARCHERY-TRADITION
To go with story 'India-gambling-archery-tradition'
In this photograph taken on February 2, 2013 an Indian woman who works at an archery club as a helper in small cafe and a bookie, figures out her pay-off and earnings after a shooting session 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
