Demala diviyan keliya, also known as Koti Sellama, is a two-player abstract strategy board game from Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon. It is a hunt game played on a triangle board, specifically a leopard hunt game, where three leopards are going up against fifteen dogs. The game is well known in Southern India and has been described in H. Parker’s 1909 book, Ancient Ceylon: An Account of the Aborigines and of Part of the Early Civilisation. The game’s Hindustani name is Rafāya.
