The board is not a map. Each State and Union Territory is one square, placed roughly where it lies, north at the top. It draws no borders, so it cannot show India's boundary wrongly. We did not find an India outline with an open licence we could read, so we do not draw one. For pen-and-paper practice, print an official outline map from Survey of India's outline maps page.
