This was another game that was very popular in suburban areas and villages. All you need is a gulli which is a six-inch long wooden log tapered on both sides so that the ends become conical shaped and a danda around one and a half feet long wooden round stick used to hit gulli.

How to play:

The objective of the sport is to use the danda like a baseball bat to strike the gilli. a circle is drawn in the ground in which a small, oblong- or spindle-shaped hole is dug (the overall shape looks like a traditional boat).
   

This hole is smaller than the gilli but as the play progresses the size may increase due to wear. The gilli is inserted into the hole either orthogonally, or at an angle. The danda is then swung and strikes the gilli. Another variation is when the danda lifts or throws the gilli out of the hole at a high speed.

The gilli becomes airborne after it is struck. If a fielder from the opposing team catches the gilli, the striker is out. If the gilli lands on the ground, the fielder closest to the gilli has one chance to hit the danda (which has to be placed on top of the hole used) with a throw.If the fielder is successful, the striker is out, if not, the striker scores one score and gets another opportunity to strike. The striker tosses the gilli from one conical end and when it is in air, he tries to hit gilli with the danda. Then the striker says how many dandas away the gilli will be away from the hole. If his guess is correct he gets the score, if the fielder couns the same and finds less, then the sriker is out. This way the points keep on adding. The team (or individual) with the most points wins the game. If the striker fails to hit gilli in three tries, the striker is out.

This game is now alive only in memories.
