Description
The game objective is to strike the gilli (ball) with the danda (bat)similar to striking a ball in cricket. For this purpose, a circle is drawn in the ground in which a small, oblong hole is dug (the overall shape looks like a traditional boat). This hole is smaller than the gilli. The gilli is inserted into the hole. The danda is then swung (similar to a golf swing) and strikes the gilli. Another variation is when the danda lifts or pries the gilli out of the hole at a high speed.
