Detailed Solution

The sprinkling of powder on the carrom board reduces the friction.
The frictional force prevents an object from moving about the surface with which it is in touch. Friction is an opposite force that occurs when two bodies in contact move relative to each other. When we sprinkle the powder on the carrom board, it produces smoothness, reducing friction. Friction can be reduced by polishing the surface, applying lubricants (like oil or grease) to the rubbing surface, and using wheels to move objects.
