In Street Fighter II, what country is represented by Dhalsim's stage? The answer is India.
Dhalsim is an Indian yogi and one of the original playable fighters in Street Fighter II: The World Warrior. His stage represents India through its setting, architecture, cultural details, and the elephants associated with his character and story.
Dhalsim's design was built around two ideas: India and yoga. He can stretch his arms and legs across the screen, teleport, and use attacks such as Yoga Fire and Yoga Flame. In his Street Fighter II ending, Dhalsim returns home on his elephant Kodal after winning the tournament.
The stage is sometimes confused with Thailand because the original Street Fighter series also includes Sagat, whose stage represents Thailand. Zangief represents the Soviet Union, while Blanka's stage is in Brazil. Dhalsim's story also makes the location clear: he enters the tournament despite being a pacifist because he wants to raise money for his impoverished Indian village.
