Pattamahal transforms each card into a unique character, action, and object. Three consecutive cards combine to form a scene, which is then placed at 18 stops within the palace. Instead of trying to memorize a dry sequence of 52 cards, you simply walk through each room and let the images guide you to the next card.
Each suit carries its own nuance: Spades are associated with intellect, Hearts with emotion, Diamonds with craftsmanship, and Clubs with nature. Numbers are also hidden within the story — the eight cups could be the 8. Once you're familiar with the available characters, you can change the story or create your own. Rearrange the stops, shuffle the deck, and practice again until all 52 cards become a familiar journey.
