                One of the legacies left behind by 
                the British -much like cricket and hockey - is Polo.  
                 
                Much like these two games. Polo owes its origin to the British, 
                even though it was first played in India.  
                 
                An erstwhile passion of the royal families - some, like the 
                former ruler of Udaipur, still patronise it - the game is now 
                largely a preserve of the men in uniform, played in metres and 
                cantonment lawns.  
                 
                Matches are usually organised in the winter season, details of 
                which can be obtained from local dailies or race courses.
