You are using 1D array as 2D array

Try this:-

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8">
<?php
$base_arr=array("सूर्योदय","कँगन","ख गोल","गँगरी","घंटाघर","चंचल","छूईमुई","जिज्ञासा","झंकार","टिकट","ठंढाई","डांटना","तौलिया","थकान","दंगल","धुँधला","निंदनीय","पँखुडी","फाइल","बाँटना","भँवर","मंजीरा","यंत्रक","रुकावट","लेकिन","वंचित","शांतनु","षडयंत्र","सँजोग","हिंदुस्तान","अजय","आँकड़े","इंकार","ईखराज","उँगली","ऊगना","एजेंसी","ऐंठना","ओवन","औलाद");
shuffle($base_arr);
print_r($base_arr);
?>

<table border=”1px” bordercolor="#F660AB" bgcolor="#FCDFFF"     width=30% height=50% align=center>
<?php
$x =0;
for($i=0;$i<6;$i++)
{
echo"<tr>";
for($j=0;$j<6;$j++)
    {
    ?>
     <td> <center><h5><?php echo $base_arr[$x]; ?> </h5></center>
    <?php
    $x++;
    }
    echo"</tr>";
}
?>
